I’m at home nursing a hangover today, but I don’t mind at all because yesterday Pride came to town – and it was beyond brilliant. It was one of the best days of my life.
LGBT+ Pride comes to town – and boy, do we need it!
I live in a little town in the Midlands. To my visitors from the USA (so, most of you then!) that’s the bit between the North and the South of England – the bit with no identity whatsoever. But while the Midlands has no identity, the town itself certainly does. It’s a grand old place, steeped in history, with really friendly people, a decent little football club a belting cinema, wonderful pubs and restaurants, I could go on. But it needs a rainbow-coloured shot in the arm – and, 50 years after Stonewall – that’s exactly what it’s getting, with its first LGBT+ Pride event. HOORAH!
