Pride Cymru
Just a quick post today, as it is the day of the Pride Cymru parade in Cardiff, part of a three-day ‘Big Weekend’ of celebrations going on over the Bank Holiday weekend.
The above picture (which I took from the ‘We Are Cardiff’ Twitter feed) shows the front of the Parade. I arrived too late to see the start, but I’m including the picture here to show that Pride Cymru is having none of the anti-Trans nonsense that blighted the London Pride parade earlier this summer.
I could only see a little bit of the Parade before returning home, as I have lot to do before returning to Ireland tomorrow, but it seemed to be going well and people seemed to be having fun!

The specific nonsense I was referring to was the deliberate hijacking of the start of the London Pride Parade earlier this year by anti-Trans campaigners.

They were lesbians opposed to the participation of trans women in the march:

Yes, great news, but I have to admit that nobody I met there last October bothered to tell me it was illegal…..;-)
