: Nottingham Pride: more than a walk in the park?

Nottingham Anarchist Federation on last week's Pride.

"We went to a fringe meeting called ‘Dying to Come Out’. What with the Cheeky Girls headlining the Pride bill, and the ‘Gay Speaker’s Corner’ stuck behind the main stage and next to Gregory Boulevard so it wouldn’t bother the cross-class love-in, it was the only bit of Pride worth attending.  Pride seems to have become a state sponsored safe event by marketing itself as a LGBTQ lifestyle which you passively consume; an off-the-hook identity you buy into, about as intrinsically emancipatory as TK Maxx."
