The City of Perth has been accused of snubbing Christmas after it allocated more funding to Saturday's gay and lesbian Pride parade than the Christmas pageant through the same streets.
The council will give $43,520 to the Pride parade and Fairday, while the Christmas pageant will receive only $20,000.
This is despite the gay and lesbian celebration attracting just a fraction of the Christmas pageant's 300,000 spectators.
