Nice documentary image. In the states, they are labeled family friendly and encourage people to bring kids, but then you see painted genitalia flopping about freely. Your image is much more respectful. Well done.
@photohoot wendy thank you , pride as well as being a celebration is also a protest .I always try my hardest to treat the people I photograph with respect and I hope i am never judgemental. Some parts of the parade were perhaps not family friendly. I think this photo fits the respectful and non judgemental tag . Btw children were lining up to have their photo took with the ladies ( I think they performed a drag act on the entertainment stage later in the afternoon 📸👍)
An entertaining and lively image, Phil. It made me think of the latest winner of Sewing Bee (whose sewing experience is mostly in fashioning outfits for drag queens), so I looked at your image and speculated on the amount of work that went into making those outfits. Wow!
I hope that, one day, the protest element of Pride will no longer be relevant but sadly I can't see that happening for a long time yet. :'-(
@dulciknit Alison thank you for the lovely comments on my photo and the thoughtful words . I think many of the LGBTQ+ community feel uneasy, social media can be very toxic towards the community and some mainstream reporting makes uneasy reading
