Pride in Pictures

Johannesburg came out in full force today for Pride 2007, despite some pretty inhospitable weather.

Politics, and in particular, antiviolence campaigns made a big appearance...







As did pagentry...







There was a loud call to move next year's parade to Soweto, from the upper middle class enclave of Rosebank, where it was held this year.

















Oddly enough, I seem to run into these guys everywhere. (They are often on street corners carrying the same sign.) I didn't realize they were gay!!!



A demo by many of the people I've been getting to know during the after-party was a call to action on behalf of recent victims of homophobic violence.
