"Pink pound" economics is basically a phrase which refers to the money that gay people make in society. More spefically however, it refers to the scene culture and comercial gay scene. Often the issue of the Pink pound is a contentious issue in LGBT politics/activism because many feel that its wrong that sexually, which is personal and central to one's life should be marketed, or that the Queer community should become a comercial clubing-ground for the rich or affluent types. Many arguie that this market-mentality cheapens what Queer community is because it makes queerness about consummerism and capital rather than brotherhood/sister and solidarity. When community ceases to be about these things, it becomes a selfish apolitical space whereby no-one cares about their sexual liberation as long as they can screw on a Thursday Night. Such a space made centre of the community's life actively excludes the less economically able members of the LGBT community as well as exclude the disabled who might feel trapped by the body-comformity and physical perfectionism, as well as out and out ablism of the scene. In this rational the scene is cool but dont let it define your gayness is the argument. Although I've put alot of my own views on the table here, I suspect that some of these views reflect why the pink pound stuff is in our constitution. Good question mate,
