Why Did 100 Westminster Stop Supporting LGBTQ+ This Year?
I know Pride Month is over, but my friends & I still haven't found an answer:
In previous years, 100 Westminster has always had a moving rainbow light display in support of LGBTQ rights during Pride Month.
This year, the rainbow was removed for the entire month and day of Pride, replaced with plain green.
So far we don't think it's a budget problem or lack of initiative, since the building has had multiple other intricate moving light displays (as pictured) for other occasions since Pride.
Was there an explanation for this that I missed? Everything seems normal in terms of the ongoing light shows, the only change was the removal of the previous LGBTQ+ support during Pride Month. I feel like it's a question worth asking if it remains unanswered.
What could be the reason?
Tl,dr:
I like seeing the rainbow lights every June and just want to know why they stopped doing it this year
