Rejected petition Pride parade in basingstoke

we should have pride becase I believe that it would increase the support for the local LGBTQ+ community, and also educate others on the matter. It would also bring people to Basingstoke, meaning profits and tourism. Mainly, however, it will help show discrimination still faced by the lgbtq community
