A scattering of pics from this weekend's Gay Pride, in London. JAMM may wish to look away now.
Boooo, the piiigs! These are the gay & lesbian police, marching in uniform. The stocky guy in front seemed acutely aware of the camera.
This was the inevitable 'I've Got Two Moms' gay family float. I really liked the imagery of the big ol' bus (and the big ol' dyke in the foreground). It clouded over at this point, but didn't actually rain on our parade (not for long, anyway).
A bee-yoootiful kathoey (at least, I think she was kathoey). Bee-yoootifully dressed, too.
After the parade, we nipped into Soho to eat - and were sitting outside our favourite all-you-can-eat Italian, when a group of twenty-odd Brazilians descended on us, waiting for a table. This one was particularly spectacular.
Hmm, bit of a theme emerging... Drag queens always make the best Pride photos. Tres photogenic.
Awww. Back in Trafalgar Square for the various speeches, and I was pissed enough to ask these two to pose for a photo. Which they did, endearingly awkwardly. Still regret not having lingered, earlier, to shoot the narcissistic-but-lovely bike cop, posing for all he was worth.
(Apparently the cops really like policing Pride, because it's extremely well-behaved. And they get a lot of cat-calls.)
Some beardy bloke, Trafalgar Square. |
