There is still an absolute need to keep sending out a strong message of gay pride.

Change and repent, bishop tells gays - Telegraph

The Bishop of Rochester, Dr Michael Nazir-Ali, has defended traditional biblical teachings on homosexuality and said the Church should not be "rolled over by culture".

It may have felt like everyone in London was on your side at the Pride March but gay people are still persecuted across the UK.  For some young gay kid who is too terrified to come out, Pride gives hope.

I believe there was a time, not too long ago, when the christian church felt it was an article of faith that god have sanctioned white men such dominion over the earth that they were allowed to enslave those of other, lesser, cultures. Funny how the strikingly brown Bishop Nazir-Ali doesn't still hold to that particular pillar of Faith.

However much f..wits like him believe that the canon is eternal, all faith is a cultural phenomenon and that which doesn't adapt, dies. Christianity has done back flips before in order to survive and will do so again. All of this hoo-hah about homosexuality is just political in-fighting between factions within the hierarchy. All sound and fury, signifying nothing (but pain for the gays whose lives are mere collateral damage)
