I just want to say what a wonderful time I had on my second pride parade. Last year I was a little bit nervous, I didnt know what to expect, how to act, where to look, etc.

This year I went there, took a couple of beers with me (thank you Germany), walked along the parade, encountered some acquaintances and talked with them for some hours, took pictures, I smiled at some men and they smiled back at me, even some of them started conversations with me. At the end the party kept going, but I was not in the mood to stay late, so I just went back home.

Anyway, happy week!

    I never went to one, but it must be great for finding people. Hopefully a better experience than using Grindr.

    Congrats! Glad you had a good time. Care to share any of the pictures you took? No worries if not!

    We’ve got a couple of prides coming up in our town and I’m looking forward to being in the parades.
