We could not have Pride month without the Liverpool band Dead Or Alive featuring LGBTQ+ Icon, Pete Burns, And His Impact Upon The World Through His Powerful Presence.

“People always want to know – am I gay, bi, trans, or what? I say, forget all that. There’s got to be a completely different terminology and I’m not aware if it’s been invented yet. I’m just Pete.” – Pete Burns.
