Hardly took any photos all day (took 2!).
Which is very strange for me, I am normally a massive shutterbug.
The prade was long and awesome, nothing like walking proud with people you have gotten to know well. And while it was my second Manchester Pride, it is alas my last. That is part of the reason I walked with the youth group this year. It felt right and I am proud to have done so. I also got to meet some people I know, even if I was less than politely greeted by some, not that it matters. I am not likely to see them again any time, and if they want to be childish so be it.
Anyway I hate the weather, been off and on all day meaning it has played hell with my systems. One of the poor youth workers ended up having a hypo right at the start of the prade, To be honest that kind of freaked me out, I mean I have never seen myself have one, but from what I have been told, I am worse than the poor lad. A little bit of a wake up call, I guess. More so as my body started to go into Hypo spiral by the end of the prade. Weather does funny things it seems.
I spent the afternoon trailing round with the under 18 B.yoU members. Mainly because we were two staff down, and I am not a big crowd kind of drinker (neither do I drink alone for that matter what is the point eh?) so I volunteered to just help keep an eye on the young ones. Anyway I spent the afternoon, talking to the young Trans member, he is a sharp lad, has an idea where he is going etc. Smart lad for 13. We walked about the Expo Centre, collecting free stuff, chatting to some people. I got into a conversation about Trans Support Places, and talked to a Trans Minister, so I will say it, "God loves Trans People!"
I then headed off to meet a great mate for an hour, hadn't seen Oliver in months! Wish I had taken a picture of you mate, you looked bloody incredible and dead handsome, and you passed, my mates thought you where Cis!
Anyway Just a random day, but so much fun!
I couldn't decided which pin suits me really, could of done with finding a trans or bi one. But they were free so I have both :P
A happy mind makes for a content body.
