Lucky urged other Prides to “take heed” of what Manchester Pride tried to achieve this year in order to make them as representative of the LGBTQIA+ community as possible.

“I believe some Prides are still lacking for representation, inclusion – even diversity – and I really think that the problem is, basically, we need more queer people of colour on the boards, in staff,” they explained. “Unfortunately it’s not been the case in some Prides, we’re not having that inclusion and diversity.”

Lucky described the reaction to the Queer Asian Takeover as “absolutely amazing” and said the artists involved saw a surge in calls and bookings within 24 hours of it taking place.

“The support’s been really, really heartwarming because, as a queer person of colour, everybody is saying that it’s something they’ve not seen before,” they continued.

“South Asian artists, Asian artists, North African artists, Middle Eastern artists, [all] bring a different kind of talent on stage and it’s not seen and that’s why it was so hot, fiery and spicy yesterday because no one’s seen stuff like that.

“People want it, there’s a space for it, there’s a market for it, we just need to be given the platform – and that’s what we achieved yesterday.

“We did history proud yesterday and I’m so thankful for the opportunity, honestly.”
