I know...from a march for equalities and rights is more and more becoming another business opportunity. And the big fat cat will always make more money

I don't really get it, does it compete with straight pride marches or is there a reason other than saying look at me. I cannot help but see it as a pointless exercise, hopefully somebody will enlighten me.

I was there over the weekend. Had a fabulous time!!

The straight pride weekend plans are ready for when you become an oppressed minority and when you can't kiss your straight partner in public. Or when people attempt to hurt or abuse you for your straightness.

Plus us gays love a weekend of d*unken partying!!

Perhaps yes...perhaps there was lots of Diva that only was there to say “look at me”!!

BUT, then again, wasn’t all purpose of that parade was to exercise in public their right to their sexuality without being stopped? Or jail..or worst??

I’m a straight man myself and I totally agree to that purpose! On the plus I thoroughly enjoyed myself. It was a great party.

Perhaps, as MiSTARess has highlighted it shouldn’t be commercialised so much

It's shit for straight people. They are always getting attacked for kissing or holding hands in public.

no matter

I went to Pride in NY '06 was a riotous week of clubs and bars & even a radio show quiz . The parades were amazing.

I sat up in the DJ booth at one place whilst my son Podium danced for an hour in is Y fronts.. He made a fair bit that night LOL.

Sparkle is essentially Trans pride held in Manchester.

I think being bi sexual qualifies me to claim residence of an oppressed minority as you called it, in fact more oppressed as we are looked down upon by gay and straight. The point being all gay pride marches do is show that we still do not see ourselves as normal. If we as a community saw ourselves as normal regular people we would not feel the need to have a march to show we are different.

As for oppressed? We have some (a minority) of idiot Neanderthal wasters with low self esteem, I personally believe We have a far easier time of it than most.

Just this bi guys opinion.

It was needed much more back when it started but still needed now. In those streets during pride weekend you could actually hold hands and kiss which should be normal but try it elsewhere at other times.... The parade shows acceptance and tolerance. And as I said, it's a Damn good party.

There were also bi groups in the pride parade this year which I think is great. We'll have won when the vast majority don't look down on anyone because of their sexuality. A quick glance at the pride photos and some of the comments on them shows that we are nowhere near that yet!!

I don't begrudge anyone a good party, but 50 years on it's sad that some still need Pride.

The problem is that legalisation was merely a milestone along the road. I still did a double-take to see the rainbow flag flying over Horseguards, last week, given I remember people who were drummed out of the services for being gay or lesbian. Ditto the civil service.

Now I'm proud that the person in charge of policing my city is in a same sex relationship and most Londoners frankly don't care as long as the Met keeps them safe.

Frankly, I'll be glad to see the back of Pride as it will mean LGBT people have no more need for such an event than their none LGBT workmates and neighbours.

Now that really will be a day to party!

Didn't see any but I didn't do a lot of late night clubbing. I'm sure there would have been some.
