Cayman LGBTQ Foundation founder Noel Cayasso-Smith has defended the decision to attach a cost to participate in the 2nd Annual Pride Parade, saying the additional financial support was needed to ensure the event took place.
Speaking on Wednesday’s Cayman Compass Facebook talkshow ‘The Resh Hour’, Cayasso-Smith responded to criticism over the pricing saying that the changes to this year’s event were necessary as the individuals who covered the costs in 2021 were unable to offer sponsorship this year.
However, he shared that the foundation is offering a $10 registration charge for those who wish to just join the parade to cover the cost of the commemorative Pride T-shirt for the event.
He also shared that the start time of the parade has been moved up to 4pm and that participants are now asked to assemble at public beach from 3pm.
