Today, nine Spectrum members (plus Issie D.) participated in Hong Kong’s second annual Pride Parade.
After sweating for over an hour in Southorn Playground in Wan Chai, during which time we all got to spend some time under a giant rainbow flag and hit around a giant pink balloon, we finally got moving towards Central. On the way, we issued enthusiastic greetings to people on footbridges, trams, buses, minibuses, taxis and private cars. The few negative responses we received were replied to with more and louder whoops, cheers and rainbow-flag-waving.
The amount of loot we’d accumulated by the end of the day was astounding. We started with just our personalized Spectrum T-shirts, and all ended up with at least one rainbow flag, a poster, freebies from the sponsors of the parade, brochures and condoms.

This is what happens when the parade organizers make us wait.

And the parade finally begins…
