I’d written a bit of story wrapped around these photos when they were originally posted, but now I’m coming to rebuild the post, it’s missing. Still, probably not worth worrying about – it’s a few years ago now, and there wasn’t really much of a story anyway. I went to Exeter Pride. I took photos. That’s about it.

I’m not really part of the LGBTQ ‘scene’, I’m straight, cis, and a middle-aged white man. I just don’t understand at all why some people object to it. No idea why some people want to get involved in or control other people’s sexuality or identity. Be who you are, aim to be who you want to be, love whoever you love.

Things were spreading all around the city centre, well before we got to the event itself.

Which brings us to the event.
