Stonewall’s slogan – ‘Some people are gay – Get over it!’
From My London Diary – where you can see more pictures:
It’s nearly 20 years since I first photographed Pride (you can really go back in time and view the actual web site I wrote in 1997 for my pictures that year – but I would no longer recommend Netscape Navigator 4!) and some earlier work is still on Fixing Shadows. You can also see the 40 or so pictures (as rather better scans) from my ‘Ten Years of Pride‘, part of the ‘Queer is Here‘ exhibition at the Museum of London in 2006.)
Now I wonder each year if I will bother to photograph it next year. It’s still I think an important event, but really now an entertainment rather than the kind of statement it used to be.
This year there seemed to be rather less of the parade than in previous years, though much of it seemed just the same as last year, and the whole thing seems to have rather got in a rut. Still, at least this year it was dry.
