London Gay Pride - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

There are some photos on the BBC news site here and on The Sun newspaper article here (click the Slideshow link). They tend to focus on the stereotypes though, especially the BBC ones.

I like this one though, because it shows the vast number of people there.

It's the biggest pride march and event in the UK. Did any EC members attend?

The BBC also doesn't show any photos of lesbians apart from a few in the background and whatever

Surely there were some interesting lesbians in the parade??

I dont like the way the BBC represents gay and lesbian people =/

An article about coming out had a picture of a gay couple in a park. One of the guys in the picture was wearing nothing but leather hot pants and a chain around his neck which his boyfriend was holding....
