Gay Pride Festival

What great fun, even for boring breeders. Anspach was the starting point for a grand parade that was full of dancers, trucks from clubs blasting out sounds, various political groups and the sub groups from the gay world, including a lesbian biker group, some blokes in lederhosen (or something similar), the leather men and a holiday company that had two men dresses as pilots in a plane, high above the street, pretending to rodger themselves.

After a quick circuit of the city centre the music trucks parked on one side of Anspach and the party began.

It was a very diverse occasion and full of life and energy. People were happy to pose for photos as this was a special day for many, a day when they can be who they really are and wander around the town without fear.

I do hope Bert wasn't in the lederhosen group.
