Captured in July 2019 just before the first ever Pride march on the Isle of Bute, Scotland.
Being led blindfolded to their first Pride march, they were both on the same ferry that I had been on. I took part in the Pride march too, for the first time ever.
LGBTQI people are facing difficult times with increases hate, abuse and violence. They need friends, family and allies to stand with them like never before which is why I am saddened that I cannot be at Glasgow Pride today.
I saw the weather forecast and because of the high likelihood of torrential stormy rain and the fact that I need to sit and rest often, and have a two hour journey home on public transport, I opted to stay at home. It pains me but the least I can do is stand up with the LGBTQI community here on Flickr.
Choose love not hate.
The voices of hate are louder but the voices of love are more numerous. Make your voice of love louder.
Wishing everyone at Glasgow Pride today a fantastic day of love, pride and protest.

Reportage photography from Rothesay, Bute, Scotland.
On a visit to the Isle of Bute in 2019 I stumbled upon the first ever pride march on the island. I imagine it takes a rural island community to use a tractor as transport for a couple of drag queens.
June was chosen as Pride Month because the first pride marches were held in June 1970 to commemorate one year after the Stonewall riots in New York City, USA.
A celebration of LGBTQ pride is needed because people that are LGBTQ have been abused, attacked and persecuted simply for being LGBTQ. Nobody should be persecuted simply for existing as their true selves.
Trans people are at serious risk right now as their rights and existence is under threat from culture war politics and manufactured hate. Much of that hate just recycled from terms and phrases used during the 80s to attack gays and lesbians.
Same sex attractive behaviour has been studied and identified in over 1500 species. Homophobia exists in only one species.
Love is Love.
Trans women are women.
Trans men are men.
Non-binary people are non-binary.

I hate that this needs to be said but:
Any hateful, abusive, homophobic and/or transphobic comments will be reported, deleted and you will be blocked.
Spread love, compassion and empathy - not hate.

And his pouchtastic ways, as the float snaked past Trafalgar Square on London's Gay Pride march. July 2009.
Under the bright June sky, a vibrant Dublin Bus wrapped in the dazzling colors of the rainbow stands proudly at its terminus outside Dublin Ferryport, Terminal 1. This isn’t just any bus—it’s a rolling celebration of Pride 2025, freshly adorned to mark the occasion and spread a message of love and inclusion across the city. Operating on route 53, this double-decker beauty is turning heads as it shuttles passengers to and from the Irish Ferries terminal, a key hub for travelers crossing the Irish Sea. With its bold reds, yellows, greens, and blues, the bus seems to wink at passersby, inviting everyone to join in the festive spirit of Pride Month.
Pride Month 2025 in Ireland is in full swing, with communities nationwide coming together to celebrate diversity and equality. In Dublin, the highlight of the month is the annual Pride March, set to take place later in June. Thousands are expected to fill the streets, waving rainbow flags, dancing to lively music, and cheering for a future where everyone can live authentically. This year’s march promises to be a spectacular affair, with local businesses, organizations, and even public transport like Dublin Bus showing their support in colorful ways. The wrapped bus at Ferryport is just a taste of the joy and solidarity that will radiate through the city during the parade.
Route 53, where this festive bus is making its rounds, is a lifeline for those traveling between Dublin city center and the Irish Ferries terminal at Dublin Port. It’s a practical route, often filled with a mix of commuters, tourists, and ferry passengers, but today it feels a little more magical. As the bus trundles along, its cheerful Pride wrap brings smiles to faces young and old, reminding everyone that love is love, no matter where you’re headed. Whether you’re catching a ferry to Holyhead or just hopping off at Talbot Street, this rainbow ride is a bright spot in the journey—and a perfect symbol of Dublin’s warm embrace during Pride 2025.

“Oh tie up your bow, take off your coat and take a look around
Everything is alright now
'Cause the sky is finally open, the rain and wind stopped blowin'
But you're stuck out in the same old storm again
Let go of your umbrella, darlin' I'm just tryin' to tell ya
That there's always been a rainbow hangin' over your head.”
Rainbow | Kacey Musgraves
Not even the dark clouds and threat of rain could dampen the mood and spirit of the marchers, or the vibrant rainbow colours on display at Trinidad & Tobago’s Pride parade.

PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT
Nearly everyone I communicate with here is, like me, primarily interested in nature... not parades and marches. So.. to save the tedium several times a year, just fave if you like it, and don't comment. ( There is a "Commenting disabled" option, but I can't get it to cooperate ).
