Not a photo post

I have just returned from exploring the Pride festivities and have nary a photograph to share with you. It was really dull and there really wasn't anything worth getting a picture of. Pride has become as mainstream as the Santa Claus Parade. Church Street was lined with booths representing corporations, mostly deadly dull like banks, and various organ of the state interspersed with the occasional worthy but dull cause (eg cancer research). Four police forces had recruiting booths side by side. Even the Mounties had got their man. There was nothing remotely edgy or transgressive. It's really quite difficult to see what the point is anymore.
