"Tesco has distanced itself from claims that it has withdrawn support for future London gay pride parades after pressure from conservative Christian groups.
"The retailer said it was "fully committed" to sponsoring this year's festival but added it would be considering alternative projects in future years.
"The Christian Institute organisation, one of the groups that has been critical of Tesco's decision to sponsor a family area at this year's parade, said on its website that the retailer had been forced into a rethink after a "storm of complaints".
"However, Tesco said the campaign by some conservative Christian organisations had had no impact, adding that, as with all its charitable giving, its preference was to "support projects with practical benefits rather than events..."
The Guardian.
I wonder if Pink News will point out they reprinted this lie by Christian Institute?
Seeing as they regularly reprint lies from The Daily Mail without checking them I wouldn't get your hopes up.

PS Fagburn got called a "moaner" on Twitter by Pink News CEO Ben Cohen - Britain's leading gay Zionist Tory former dot.com millionaire - on Saturday. Excellent praise!
