Bad Reputation

The queer community has always been painted with labels meant to diminish us.

But what they see as faults we see as our greatest strengths. Our shameless voices, our defiance of norms, our embrace of freedom, and our refusal to fit into boxes are acts of rebellion. In challenging times, it is precisely this boldness and refusal to conform that keeps us visible, powerful and united. And that is the Manchester way.

On Friday 17th April, bring your inner rebel to the Bad Reputation Ball. Take to the runway in groups or individuals to show the world your bad side.

Who has a bad reputation that needs to be celebrated? Will you be a villain? An anti-hero? A punk? A brat? A martyr? A monster? More information to follow soon.

(Or will you just turn up in a harness? Because tbh, same.)
