Impact analysis
Expect fewer tourists and less spending in town since the Pride festival is a big draw.
Honestly, no one really benefits here, but the council members who voted for this are likely pleased.
The LGBTQ+ community and anyone who values inclusivity are definitely feeling the sting of this decision.
