Don't Rain on My Parade

Whilst with a few friends, trying to get our way around Jozi  this past Saturday, we were stopped by a certain Marshall Gigolo. Totally unsuspecting of what was to happen next, we waited with great anticipation to cross the darn street. Only then did we recall that that particular Saturday was indeed the day of Joburg Pride.


Joburg Pride is an event that is dedicated to the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) community and thus goes about celebrating their orientation as well as their diversity. This is achieved with a parade/march in which people from all over, both homosexual and heterosexual, participate. Thereafter, is a huge jam, featuring a whole lot of performances by local music acts.

 As we realised that we were going to have to wait for a while, we hopped out of the car to get a few snaps. It was so wonderful to witness a strong sense of unison as masses of people strutted and swaggered along, together, standing up for what they believe in. Adorned in flamboyant costumes and sporting very innovative novelty T's, everyone had a little flavour to bring.
