[Withano]

Why is it pointless?

[Jords]

[Denver]

Why is it pointless?

Its just gays partying in a street when you can do it in a club like everyone else

[Jords]

why go to restaurants when you can eat at home

[Denver]

That is different though

[Jords]

so is going to a club and a festival with live music, outdoors, and people from all over :tongue:

[Jords]

I love eating out take me to Chimichanga please I have a tastecard

[Denver]

What do i get

[Withano]

Tbf, I've never really went either.. I just was intrigued why people thought it was pointless to do so. I dont think 'its pointless cos clubs exist' is a great argument for this reason

I should experience it one time

Isn't that just a place to meet up with guys for sex? No thanks.

Yes you are only allowed if you got a STI

i usually go to the one here but don't think I'll bother this year, I've no friends in the LGBT community and I've experienced it already

No :laugh: It's like a big street party/festival (depending where you go and how big it is), the manchester one normally lasts a few days and they put on concerts and events and things. You go to pride for the atmosphere imo,

[Firewire]

Never been, I'm not comfortable in the LGBT community yet but once I find peace with it then maybe it'll be something I can enjoy in the future

I understand why it is so important though

[Marsh.]

Contrary Mary at it again.

I have never been to one but i've been in the town centre in Cardiff before when the parade was taking place. Saw the crowd marching in leather and fluffy boas and all sorts . I think it's good fun. You wouldn't catch me in leather, but I don't see anything wrong with adding a bit of colour and fun to the streets. Don't want to take to part? Fine, but don't spoil the fun for the others! R.

Manchester Pride is a great weekend - for everyone. Great atmosphere, big acts and a laugh. Gets bigger every year and very little trouble considering the numbers that attend (and its in Manchester lol). I've gone most years since it started in the early 2000s. I'd well recommend people go - whatever orientation you are...its a great weekend
