The huge festival attracts hundreds of thousands of people each year and is an essential charity fund-raising event for Brighton, bringing about £20 million to the city's economy. Yamum said: "Every large event worldwide has been cancelled due to this horrible virus and potential for massive loss of life. If it's to do with money, insurance and contracts etc then shame on the Pride organisers for putting profit and money over the health and safety of people. "If they are not prepared to do the decent thing and cancel this year's Pride now then perhaps the council should cancel their license to hold the event."
