Pride parade 'on edge of collapsing' - Gresham Bradley

From Morning Report, 7:35 am on 22 November 2018

A founder of the Auckland Pride Parade says it's been hi-jacked by a small group and years of hard work building tolerance risks going down the drain. The parade board's decision to ban police from marching in uniform has split Auckland's queer community. On Wednesday the BNZ became the latest sponsor to withdraw funding for next year's event. Gresham Bradley is the chair of the Rainbow New Zealand Trust and a founder of the Pride Parade. He talks to Susie Ferguson.
