In response to Mrs Jones' question (Letters, July 8) about what colour to light the Pavilion if heterosexuals had a march, how about blood red for all the attacks on LGBT folk by heterosexual thugs?

As for whinging about the £26,000 grant, I don't know the full cost of the Pride day but if Mrs Jones thinks this pays for it she is sadly misinformed.

It's a shame people such as Mrs Jones are more concerned with whinging about this event than asking why people can't be left alone and not be in fear of violent attack just for being who they are.
