so are any of you big gays going to Manchester Pride this weekend???? — Page 2

After reflecting on Pride this year, I didn't really enjoy it. It has not changed significantly for some years and as I get older, I'm not sure it's me. I'm not being miserable and I realise for some, it's there first taste of this kind of freedom of expression. However, I agree with SADM that the entry fee is for the charities (I'm not sure if enough goes there) but I really don't enjoy "the street" as much as I did, I think I've got a compromise for next year, I think next year I'll buy a ticket and not go or maybe go just to the vigil. At least that way, I support the event but don't have to push, shove, get pushed, get shoved, queue and walk in streets paved with beer cans.

Maybe if I'd got chatted to by a couple of fit blokes, I'd have a different opinion. So, see you there next year!!!!

lol

This year was a different one for me because instead of going around all the twink bars like Queer and Manto's etc i chose to not go out with my clubby friends and go out with my skinhead mates so we went to Company, Legends, The Rem etc, it was more just a social thing, meeting lost of new people etc. Im bored of the clubby scene now so chose to just meet mates and hang out, as well as watch the concerts, visit the markets etc

And i agree that more of the money should go to charity

lololol ohhhhh i wonder if we bumped in to each other in the toilets lol

We would love to have a show running in Taurus over pride but the nosie would be to loud from the Village. We are going to talk to the organisers about seeing if we could arrange a 1 night performance of a musical in sackville park next year.

While not a Stage Musical as such the Grand Opera House screened the Rocky Horror Picture Show during Belfast Pride this year with an after-show party and it sold out both nights.
