Gloucestershire Pride
The third annual Gay Pride march on Saturday 8th August, the first in Cheltenham, was by the accounts of several Green party members a great day. It began with a colourful procession of about 100 people who marched from Pittville Park through town to Montpellier Gardens. After that there were stalls and various bands.
Cllr Philip Booth, who missed this Pride march but has attended in the past and organised the flying of the rainbow flag on Council buildings, said: "I was delighted that Stroud District Council again flew the Rainbow flag in support of Gloucestershire Pride at their Council offices at Ebley Mill. Many gay people still experience discrimination in for example our workplaces - and in schools some children face homophobic bullying. Pride is about celebration but also about raising awareness of continuing homophobia in Gloucestershire and further afield."
