Gonna be honest and say that I read "gaying" population at first and was curious to read how that impacts any festival at all.

Sad to hear that the demographic shift has such an impact on certain traditions. Let's see if they can change the form of the festival and keep it around in some way.

That's a shame. Something around and enjoyed for so long, now being lost.

Maybe this will create room for newer, better traditions
