05 Jul LONDON: HOMOPHOBIA SUCKS
Tens of thousands of rainbow-flag waving revellers turned central London into one massive street party this weekend.
Trade unionists, activists and flamboyantly dressed revellers followed dozens of floats set up on buses and lorries to mark the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LBGT) community’s biggest celebration of the year.
The annual London Pride festival snaked its way through Regent Street and Whitehall for a rally in Trafalgar Square, followed by an afternoon of live entertainment, food counters and campaign stalls
.
A massive trade union contingent sponsored by the TUC marched behind the Love Music, Hate Homophobia lorry floats, while campaigners handed out lollipops with the slogan “Homophobia Sucks.”
Police and ambulance staff drew some of the biggest cheers from the thousands of bystanders who had lined the streets to watch the Pride march.
