Just to let everyone know - i've shown it on fitlads. The debate about Pride being commercialised is still ongoing. I started it hours ago!

There was a fee to hold on stall at Nottingham Pride as well, so we decided against the stall.

Anyone had any further thoughts about the poles? We've got just over a week to go until the Parade so we'll need to get it sorted beforehand however we can assemble everything that morning at the gay centre as we have always done.

You should've messaged me and I would've given you the original video I took, instead of using a compressed YouTube quality one. Oh well.
I think it looks excellent. And it's very uplifting, but I don't know if that's supposed to be the point?
I chuckled when I saw Joey speaking in there, ha.

You mean the Stonewall clip? Thanks so much for putting it online, you are amazing! I would have messaged you for the raw footage but we only had a few hours to get the editing done but it still looks alright anyway, it's been compressed more by YouTube but the original of this video is almost DVD quality but it's 80mb's..
This was the 10th Most Viewed Video in Activism on YouTube yesterday.
Also... do a search on http://www.google.co.uk for "Manchester Pride" and see what comes up!

It sure is, we wanted to convey the upbeat feelings that we had during the making of the video and the positive message we're intending to put across.
