It seems the rules are not the same for all venues.
While the Queens Arms, The Bulldog and the Marine Tavern are not allowed to have a street party, pubs such as The Marlborough and Dr Brighton's are.
I am furious and Pride should realise this is why their business fund raising this year has been so poor compared with last year.
Pride have not worked hard enough to ensure the street parties went ahead.
Actually, I think there will be far more problems without proper organised outdoor bars as thousands of people try to get into bars to buy a drink.
I am very concerned people's frustrations will boil over.
An integral part of the Pride weekend has been lost.
I think it has really been cancelled to disappoint people so they won't return for Pride 2007, thus reducing the numbers coming to Pride which, I believe, would make both the police and the Pride organisers happy.
