Two years later The Gay Liberatn Front anised the first UK Gay Pri Rally, aga London, which attracted 700 – they were abed and harassed by the police but were termed to add an element of fun to a hugely polil event by endg wh a Gay Day Hy Park. Fast forward another 20 years and Pri events had started beg anised Manchter, Brighton and Birmgham, and London the UK Pri March was tens of thoands strong and the Gay Day had grown to a massive ftival. If any of had had any signifint events experience, or any sight to how the mercial gay scene operated, or any klg of the sheer amount of goodwill that need extracted om all manner of public agenci and private anisatns those days to put on a succsful Pri event, we’d have jt led out.
And there was a lot of bucket shakg every Friday and Saturday night every gay and lbian bar and venue that would let (which wasn’t all of them). But most of the time was jt a hard, endls slog of negotiatns wh the uncil, ntracts wh terers and tent suppliers and PA system suppliers and stagg suppliers, pleas for sponsorship om gay venu (some of which were fabuloly kd and supportive and some of which were… not) and endls lls to agents and acts to try to secure performanc for nothg ont of a crowd of termate size. Go back another 15 years and gay relatnship are a crimal offence, LGBT liv forced to secrecy and shame, and the ia of public exprsns of Pri Stland anathema.
GAY PRI
As wh the prev year the march started om Blythswood Square but this year routed through Gee Square and the gay scene area at Glassford Street on s way to Glasgow Green. This turned out to be gay in Jimmy Somerville who was a big h wh the crowd of around 5000. After the new Sttish Parliament proposed the repeal of Sectn 28 a wave of homophobia washed over Stland the form of huge billboards and leaflets om the ‘Keep the Cse’ mpaign and their backers the Daily Rerd.
We had a Pri Party Sleepers bar by the statn as was known to be gay-iendly those days and 350 people turned up for which exceed our expectatns.
