One of Cornwall's idelic cities was a wash with color as for the second year running the Gay Pride Event took place, The pride march led by Green Party Member and Veteran human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell. The parade starting from Lemon Quay made its way through packed streets obseved by holiday makers and locals to the leafy green settings for the party in Victoria Gardens. The one noticiable attendee was the warm August sunshine which the organisers I am sure were hoping for. The South West Green Parties LGBT Spokesperson and Coordinator joined collegues from the Cornish Greens to hold an information stall in the park. All in all a successful day was had. Reflecting upon the day Ryan said " Truro is a beautiful city and today is showed very effectively how diversity is thriving in a small but Cornish city, "After attending this year I will deffinately be looking to attend again in 2010.
The organisers did a great job and put on a great family day for everyone and it was nice to be invited down to Truro.
The pride season continues for Ryan and the South West LGBT Greens in Swindon next weekend on the 15th/16th and then ends a week later in Plymouth.
I also wish to personally thanks Tim Thomson, Lindsay, Dianne and Ian (who cycled 10 or so miles to join us) I further wish to Thank Tim for being a host to me on this visit.
See you all soon!!!
Regards
Ryan.
