Leeds Pride was supported by the city council and local business with 6,500 attending.

The activist group Dirty Dykes made a public statement on their Instagram explaining that they wouldn't be attending the event in 2024 due to this policy change.

[6] The parade starts at Millennium Square at around 2.00 pm finishing on Lower Briggate by The Calls with a huge party.

In 2017, the railway viaduct over Lower Briggate was painted in these colours and named 'Freedom Bridge" by Leeds City Council and Network Rail.
