Hi
Thanks for your reply. I hadn't been to the Pride event before and apparently, there was a record number of people who attended this year's event. There were same sex couples, 'straight' people with families, stalls, police, fire service, all different types of agencies.
From what I saw, most of the audience genuinely enjoyed the acts. There were all kinds of bands too. It was a great day out.
I can't really comment on the gay community and whether they are embarrassed by drag queens etc as I'm not part of it.
Then to end the day, not long after I got in, a house just nearby caught fire.
