Pride

[marshlander]

Since this thread is not actually inviting written responses, may I ask if anyone can shed some light on what is going on in London? ...

I'll take that as a "No", then

Still curious though.

On another matter, I've just added Norwich Pride details to the events diary. It will be the first Pride in Norwich to the best of my knowledge. The organising collective put out a survey, the results of which are published here

I know I'm hardly representative, but I found it unsettling that the relative rankings of importance of the politics against the social aspect of the event showed such an antipathy to the former. On one hand it is great that so many people feel they have nothing they need to fight for, on the other I wonder why we don't have more empathy for those who don't enjoy our freedoms. Also, does this hedonism not display a remarkable complacency? As California has so recently displayed, what one hand gives can so often be taken away by the other.
