He wrote I believe that there’s a fine line between showing off to deliberately make people feel intimidated and in showing pride just as there’s a fine line between not understanding gay people and being a thuggish bigot...

Gay Pride: Triumphalist or rembering a historical battle for human rights?

The other day I was bored and was watching BBC Parliament. It was a recording of the previous days debates in the House of Lords, which is very interesting. Though one member of the House gave me something to mull over and hence this post. Another thing that we see regularly—I do not know whether it is an annual event—is the gay pride parade, which I and many others consider to be triumphalist and could be used to incite...

Cork Pride Over

Well after an eventful long weekend (me out every night wooooooo!) Cork Pride came to a close yesterday. The highlight for the week had to be the Parade on Sunday through Cork City. It was fantastic. The reaction was excellent as we urned the city into a riot of colour and sound with floats, buses, cars and a 250ft Pride flag! It was the best way to start our Pride Parades in Cork. for more pics see My photobucket...
