There’s lots of talk of their needing to be diversity and respect towards the LGBT community yet it doesn’t seem to apply to their community towards others, this is another example of how prejudiced this group is, how they cant welcome Ariane following what happened is disgusting

When we going to hetero-pride, or is it prejudice just to even mention it?

Only when we drop labels and stop pigeon-holing people will we have equality. Sexual preference is ONLY relevant 'in the bedroom'; skin colour is ONLY relevant in description of appearance; I'm not sure if sex (gender) is EVER relevant outside of linguistics? WE ARE ALL THE SAME!

Poor lbqgtusbgkasyponshgvs bigots

Pride used to be free and it was donations that supported this! Those were the best prides because everyone was there to support the LGB movement. Pride is now a commercial farce.

She is crap.

War children dieing in Yemen indescribable poverty and suffering around the world the earth is on the edge of climate disaster gun and knife violence and on and on. Ariane? For fucks sake people. Don't make yourselves look like idiots.

Can those who are bothered by the ticket price not ask to see the income/expenditure for previous Pride events? These events are pretty huge and the staff/equipment/security/stewarding/power/transport etc. isn't free. If you don't like the price, don't pay.

Looks a bit like miles cyrus

All'Prides' are now just big commercial ventures. The sooner people wake up to it, the better.

Go away already! You are so irrelevant to 99.9% of the world, the rest are just ignorant to what’s really going on in the world! GoAwayNow

Does it Matter

These extremely insular LGBTs (the 'fuck all straight whities' types) are absolute cancer and are a disgrace to the wider LGBT community! We all know events like this are supposed to be ALL-INCLUSIVE.

to oppose her is surely sexist, you imagine if straight people moaned about a gay artist, oooh the uproar

you can't appease them, nothing will ever be good enough! mememe

You just have to laugh at these people! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Can you just imagine the outrage on so many levels if someone suggested it was inappropriate for an LGBT artist to headline a straight event?

Ariane Grande would sing at a funeral if it ment get more media attention on her. Shameful

This is the state of society that people will now moan about absolutely anything! In the early days of pride and other movements there were tons of events with straight stars such as Kylie, Madonna etc.

Strange that Ticket Prices are outside a performers control - surely they can insist on some input?

not aware of her

This view doesn’t reflect the majority in the community. There are differing opinions on whether acts like Grande should be appearing but it has more to do with whether fans are just there to see them or actually stay for pride and support the event it’s people and charities

Poor girl, how she takes the flack she gets is beyond me, she must be very very strong. 🐝

Diversity & exclusion in full effect.

I don't care.

The Manchester False Flag & Satanic Music industry puppets are as one!

What’s the matter with people? Two days of music two headline acts for £35 a day, have you tried booking any act at the arena or at the football stadiums? See how much you pay then! ArianaGrande yearsandyears thrilled you’re both headlining ManchesterPride

Oh, please!! If it was Britney or Madonna, no one would say a bleeding word!! Why are people so damn petty

Event about inclusion wants to exclude people based on sexuality. Logic.

Just about sums things up really doesn't 'we' want equality but on our terms.
