  1. Such a pity that they permitted the Hamas fan club to march with them. Oxymoron does not even begin to cover it.
    I’m glad that the genuine Pride marchers enjoyed it.

      • Clare.
        Read the Hamas Covenants. The first demands the extermination of every single Jew. The modified second document calls only for the extermination of all Jewish Israelis.
        Meanwhile, Gaza’s population has grown since October 2023.
        You need to wake up. Hamas kills homosexuals.

  2. From what I hear it was disgusting men walking around in leather gear kissing and whipping each other inappropriate outfits with next to nothing on needs banning them poor children that had to witness it, as for the idiots waving palistine flags go out there with your parade and see how you get on

  3. I’ve never been to a pride event, and nor would I.

    I’ve never been to a football match, and nor would I.

    However, I’m not against other people going to any of these things.

    Peace & Love.
