Pride in London - 2016 - All you need to know!

First of all I'm really proud of you for just biting the bullet and going despite being in the closet! Take it from me, you won't regret it (providing everything runs as smoothly as usual). When I first went, I was struggling so much with self-acceptance and it completely lifted me up. The event is beautiful.

I really hope you enjoy it and I'm glad the information has helped and that you're excited. Don't worry too much about the camera thing - it's unlikely unless you're in the parade.

Thank you so much for this message. I honestly appreciate it, as I've been worrying about coming out for years now (still don't know if I'm bi or lesbian) I'm glad you enjoyed the parade. This really cheered me up ♥

I'm sorry but where did I comment on any of those issues? We have made huge strides. Just because we're not 100% there yet doesn't mean there is nothing to celebrate; if we constantly cry and get angry and push, nobody will receive us. There has to be an approach that is balanced and saying there is nothing to celebrate is quite frankly, a complete discredit to those who have died for your right to be who you are, and devoted their lives to fighting for the rights we now have. We're the next generation of fighters and yes, there are issues that need significant attention and Pride aims to highlight a lot of those, but it also aims to celebrate, and that too is merited.

I'm not interested in all this 'be nice to the cis hets so they stop killing us' *******s. You are saying the same things that we ALWAYS hear from cis gay white men. 'Don't get angry', 'we'll get to your rights afterwards'... Because you're scared that after less 'acceptable' parts of the community have fought for your rights and you're now feeling accepted that you'll lose that if we keep fighting.

Guys, please keep safe when you go. After recent events it's worrying having loads of targeted people in one place at once. :c

Totally

What about you guys?

Thanks for tagging me in.

I'm probably not going, and here's the reasons why.

I don't know anyone else who is going, and by all accounts Pride is a social affair.

Second, I'm not out as bisexual to very many people, though coming out isn't too terrifying a prospect.

I live in Wales atm so it's really far away plus I think I'd feel really nervous there, considering what happened in Orlando recently.

Ah, that's a shame. Hopefully you can go to another one in the coming years.

It's quite odd that so few TSRians seem to be going! I thought more would be. Oh well.

I'm sure it would be different if I knew people going.

Fair shout - hopefully you can attend another at some point

What about you guys?

Lol don't want to conjure up a fake excuse. But for a few reasons I just can't go, sorry.

Have fun though mate.

What about you guys?

Thanks a lot for tagging and inviting me to the event dear Ivybridge !Much appreciated !It would be very nice to go and attend and to experience this .. but I am afraid I am not sure I will be able to take part and might be unavailable. Sorry.Nevertheless, many thanks for letting us all know, anyway !I hope many other people will be able to attend instead of me.Good luck !

Ah, shame.

I'm seriously so surprised to see so few people from TSR are attending... I mean, I suppose it's to be expected given Orlando.

Anyway, hopefully you can go another year.

So when's straight pride month?
