Bristol Pride 2013

I have to confess: I don't love chocolate. It is surprising, I know. People react the same way when I say it: "Why not?!". Basically, the amount of sugar it has is just too much for me. 

Not everybody loves chocolate (or pies, or sweets...). Not everybody loves what are "supposed to" love. Even in modern countries, accepting that fact has been a challenge for certain people yet. As far as I am concerned, "variety is the spice of life".

Some days ago, crowds flocked american streets for Gay Pride as same-sex couples celebrated a Supreme Court ruling on the legality of gay marriages and Bristol will wear multicoloured flags for the Pride Day this weekend. The South West's most colourful parade will leave Queens Square at 11:45 to go up Baldwin Street, along Wine Street and into Castle Park, where the free festival will held next 13th July. Organisers are asking people to gather in Queens Square from 11am to secure help carry the flag, soak in the atmosphere and to get flags and whistles for a donation to the team.
Local, national and international artists will be performing in the Main Stage and there will be a Cabaret Stage as well. The innovation will come along with a headphone party by introducing a Silent Disco dance area. Rather than using the traditional speaker system, music will be broadcasted via radio transmitters with the signal being picked up by wireless headphone available for a refundable deposit of £5 (+£1 fee for those who don't have a wristband).

Although the festival is free of charge, discounts will be applied on site (in food traders, free access to Dance Area and reduced prices at the Bar) if you purchase a supporter wristband for £5.

The afterparty will continue in the O2 Academy and tickets are still available for £8.
