I got talked into attending Joburg Pride. I’m so glad I did.
It’s simply marvellous really, that the event is attended by so many heterosexual men and woman. I had no idea.
The theme this year was “Protect Our Rights.”
I was truly amazed at the outpouring of love and camaraderie from the LGBTI community. After the Parade March was over, the spontaneous party atmosphere at the gathering point in Zoo Lake Sports Club had me dancing along with thousands of other people.
The really strange thing was not feeling like an outsider; it just felt so natural being there, celebrating our wonderful sexual diversity.
I’m definitely attending again next year. Maybe I’ll get into the whole costume thing this time…
