‘The battle for equality is over!’ – Darren Grimes on how Pride became ‘sinister’ | Spectator cover

What ‘started half a century ago as an afternoon’s little march for lesbians and gay men’, argues Gareth Roberts, became ‘a jamboree not only of boring homosexuality’ but ‘anything else that its purveyors consider unconventional’. Yet now Reform-led councils are taking down Pride flags, Pride events are being cancelled due to lack of funds, and corporate sponsors are ‘withdrawing their cold tootsies from the rainbow sock’. In this week's cover piece, Gareth assesses whether we've reached the end of the rainbow. Natasha Feroze is joined by commissioning editor Lara Brown and Darren Grimes, deputy leader of Durham County Council, which has taken down its pride flags. // CHAPTERS 00:00 - Intrduction 01:20 - “Equality has been achieved” 02:04 - Identity politics and the “gender cult” 04:12 - Trans ideology’s role in Pride’s decline 06:36 - The safeguarding crisis 07:20 - The legal and cultural fight ahead 08:37 - Is Pride still for gay people? 11:19 - Sexuality vs gender ideology 13:12 - Political accountability 15:43 - The Cass Review and school guidance 17:05 - Where does Reform UK stand? 19:23 - Reform's family policy // SUBSCRIBE TO THE SPECTATOR Get 12 issues for £12, plus a free £20 John Lewis/Waitrose voucher https://www.spectator.co.uk/tvoffer // FREE PODCASTS FROM THE SPECTATOR Hear more from The Spectator's journalists on their podcasts, covering everything from the politics of the UK, US and China, to religion, literature, lifestyle and more. https://www.spectator.co.uk/podcasts/ // FOLLOW US   / spectator     / officialspectator     / the-spectator     / spectator1828     / thespectatormagazine
