Pride photos! First up we have my new friends and a self portrait 😂
#pride #gaypride #queer #bristolpride #transrightsNext up we have a selection of rainbow things and the first of many excellent signs
Side note they were carrying one of those massive pride flags that takes dozens of people and I have no idea where they keep them or where how they store them but this one was the biggest I've ever seen. It just kept going! People in the crowd around me were gobsmacked. Their flabbers where GASTED, let me tell you
I am not generally one for corporate presence in pride but fair fuckin play to the person in that carrot costume. Also my immediate reaction to the goose sign was to YELL 'HONK' at the top of my gay little voice 😂
More signs. Among them another of my favourites. (The saw one obvi) but also, gay wolverine! They're grinning like that because I was absolutely delighted to see them.
Also the 'if you are trans and reading this' sign was repeated throughout the festival and lots of people were carrying them, which was wonderful
Next up we have a gentleman in leather, (presumably from Finland) some more excellent signs (support for Palestine was also a theme this year) and a delightful individual who found themselves in one of the gaps that sometimes emerges in a walking parade and was briefly nervous but then was cheered on by the crowd and absolutely SERVED in that outfit.
Then we have some pride puppers, always a highlight for me. More excellent signs, and a person in literal armor
Next up one of the things that made me cry
Side note my parents aren't unsupportive but I also know so many aren't, so this and the people in the free mum/dad hugs shirts had me in bits
