It may be Monday again - but the countdown to this Saturday's Gay Pride in London has begun!
Indeed, it begins on the remarkable - and heartening - note that the embattled Pride celebrations in Budapest, Hungary (under the thumb of that nasty piece of work Viktor Orban, whose regime has brought in draconian anti-gay legislation) went ahead on Saturday just gone... and an estimated 200,000 people joined the throng, many of whom had never turned out before!! [To put things in perspective, last year just 35,000 took part.]
A reminder, indeed, that Pride isn't just a carnival celebration - it is a protest that has real meaning!
Turning full circle, it is a Tacky Music Monday - a day for a song-and-dance "wake-up call" - and this classic number fits the bill perfectly:
Have a good week, dear reader - and keep cool. It's forecast to be up to 34C/93.2F in London today!
I was energized when I saw the throng in Budapest. Power to Pride.
ReplyDeleteIt was an amazing sight! Jx
DeleteWOW! This is my first time seeing this number, sweetpea! Thank you, it's fantastic! xoxo
ReplyDeleteIt is rather special, isn't it?! Jx
DeletePride Budapest a mis Orbán en garde, tout comme manifestations de Belgrade contre Vučić. 🏳️🌈🇭🇺🇷🇸

DeleteEt Trump aussi :)
DeleteTrump will be the arbiter of his own downfall. No-one makes as many enemies as he has and gets to write their own destiny... Jx
Delete"Pride isn't just a carnival celebration - it is a protest" and I think it's amazing that we can make it both at the same time!
ReplyDeleteIt's a vocation! Jx
