Treorchy
A village in Wales with a population of approximately 7,500 [1]. In 2019 a Welsh Pride was planned for the village called Rhondda Pride. Organisers asked attendees not to wear 'sexualised costumes' to ensure the event was family friendly and suitable for children and teenagers to attend. The Leathermen Cymru, a social club for gay leather-wearers in Wales, were told that they could not attend the event. However some members of LGBT communities in Wales complained that Pride included fetish and bizarre and any dress code went against the tradition of Pride. The organisers changed their minds and apologised for their mistake [2].
