Former Pride leader now wants to defund Pride, using acronym DICK

A PinkNews article about Michael Felse, a former drag performer who led Manchester Pride in 2011, now elected as a Reform UK councillor. The post includes a photo of someone in drag makeup and a red feathered outfit with an exaggerated expression. The article describes Felse's shift from drag persona 'Ethol Mary' to a 'butch' character called 'Captain England,' while simultaneously calling for councils to defund Pride events—creating a striking contradiction.
