A Fanstastic Day!
Organisers of Leeds’ 3rd Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans Pride are hailing it as a great success. True to the event’s theme of heroes, even the changeable weather could not prevent over six and a half thousand people taking part in the fantastic city centre parade with thousands more looking on and an estimated 12,000 joining the street party in Lower Briggate.
Before the parade began Leeds Millennium Square played host to a main stage packed with a diverse range of acts from choirs to rappers, cheesy pop to Indy Punk, and drag acts. To be honest there where some acts that transcended any known musical category but they all gave their earthly best and there was a little bit for everyone and a lot for most.
Tom Doyle, Chair of Leeds LGBT Pride planning group said, ‘The turn out this year was amazing, it’s the first time we have split the event in this way and it worked really well. I’d like to thank everyone who took part this year; it was an absolutely fantastic day and I know that it made all the hard work by the Pride volunteers seem worth it’. Not only was the parade and party brilliant, the Sports Day and Film show also proved to be massive hits with folk.
Some of us are about to take a well earned rest whilst other members are already busy planning Leeds Winter Pride which will take place in February to coincide with LGBT history month.
