Pride is fun, and Pride is about community getting information about politics and activism and meeting new people. And waving flags and wearing a stupid outfit and prancing down the main street as though you are some kind of Summer King. And smiling at people on public transport.
It's one of the things that transforms tiny rainbow lapel pins into hyperlinks - you see this? It's about all this.
(And a bi group are meeting on the Dorset Street/Baker Street corner at 12.30 for the parade - feel free to join us, whatever your sexuality.)
So I don't want to be all 'Come to London Pride tomorrow because straight people in a pub garden loudly insulted me last night on the basis of my perceived sexuality'.
But hey! Come to London Pride tomorrow (in part) because, dude, straight people in a pub garden loudly insulted me last night on the basis of my perceived sexuality!
But mainly, come to see my stupid outfit.
Edited to add: I assume they were straight, of course, but could be completely wrong.
