Business sponsors (like My Mother's Bloomers - Neville MacKay) would raise 
their business profile by contributing to the events through donations... 
Hell, any business that wants to show they have no anti-gay feelings would 
benefit from the exposure.

As you mentioned, Punk, the known businesses that do make a little extra 
money because of this event should put a little in the pot for the next one.

Everybody wins, and everybody's equal!
