Gay Pride in London

Gay Pride in London: so much fun. I was wearing a pink shirt, blue jeans and eyeliners. I bought purple nail varnish to paint my fingernails. I think it looked good on me, although I am sure not everyone will agree.

In the evening chilling in a gay bar in Camden Town with friends.
A few days earlier, I left Belgium for London together with Kurt to go to London Gay Pride. I stayed with my good friends Marc and Gerard, while Kurt stayed with my other friend Allan. After arriving in London, Kurt and I went for Chinese in King's Cross, together with Allan, and later we had a beer before going to our beds.

The next day, Kurt and I went to a restaurant in West London for a nice meal together with Marc and Gerard and two of Gerard's friends. Afterwards we had champagne in a bar/restaurant near Oxford and Regent Street and more people joined. It was a great day.

Then on Saturday: Gay Pride. Gerard and Marc didn't join. First we saw a little of the Parade. It was fun although after a while it became boring as there was too much empty space between the wagons. Therefore, we got bored and decided to go somewhere else. Nevertheless, I took some pictures of the Parade.


















He was so handsome.


















































































First, we went to Trafalgar Square where many people enjoyed the music and walked around the area watching each other. However, it was a little too busy. So, we decided to go into Soho: Old Compton Street and Soho Square. Here there were even more people but there was also more fun. People from all nationalities and ages, males and females and those you don't know for sure, were present. We had a coffee and then we met Allan and some of his friends. We are drinking outside Compton Bar when we were surprised with the performance of a stripper. He started with a wedding dress (I thought it really suited him) and in the end he was almost nude. He was good looking with a nice body.



 








The army guy was great looking at, he had a beautiful smile.























The end of the show. I still like the smile of the guy in army clothes.


 



Of course, I also met other friendly people. Where you find gay people you find happy faces. That is the reason I think why homosexuals took the name "gay", it means happy. And we are humans for those who don't believe that; we are called "homo", latin for human.

In the end, Allan and his friends wanted to go to Camden Town, and that is where I started my story with the picture of me. I have to admit, the ending of the day could have been better as we were out the main area in an almost empty bar where not much happend except for a small drag act. Nevertheless, it could have been worse.

(12z) Don't blame animals for the climate crisis

Image
In today's society, many people comment how animals are a main contributor to climate change. However, we should stop blaming animals for the production of too much methane as they are victims because of the industrialised meat industry and habitat loss due to human activities, and thus the resulting climate change. Animals release methane, but are not responsible for climate change As usual, nowadays many people in comments under articles about climate change accuse animals that they produce too much methane and, although animals release methane (a potent greenhouse gas), humans are mainly to blame as we pack animals together so locally animals produce high levels of methane. Therefore, we should condemn the practice of today's meat industry, an industry whereby animals are considered to be things that are locked up with too many animals in cages that are too small so animals can't move. Therefore, they are given antibiotics to prevent they become ill and thus to prev

Extreme left joins extreme right over Ukraine. Hard to understand

Russian journalist Dmitry Muratov analyses 2023's Russia Russia's Nobel-winning journalist Dmitry Muratov, whose newspaper was closed by the authorities, speaks about Russia's war in Ukraine . Does president Putin have a support base he asks? He answers himself: an enormous one of mainly elderly people who see Putin as their own grandson as they are pleased he wishes them each year "Happy New Year". Many of those elderly wouldn't mind sending their real grandchildren to die for Putin. In contrast, many younger people oppose the war against Ukraine, and many of them are now even imprisoned. So, he hopes the future of Russia will be different.  But yes, while Russian propaganda tries to convince Russians that even nuclear war may be something positive, there are also people in the West who create their own propaganda to justify their support for Russia, and condemn Ukraine because it wants to remain a free democracy, and therefore opposes Russia's invasion.

(8k) Kristallnacht. The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Situation today.

Image
Kristallnacht , in English known as Night of the Broken Glass On 9 November 2023, the world, or at least the West, remembered that 85 years ago Kristallnacht happened. It was on the night of 9 to 10 November 1938 that Hitler ordered thugs that included SA and SS officers, and some Hitler youth and German citizens to attack synagogues and other Jewish property, while police and fire officers were ordered not to intervene unless non-Jew property was under threat to burn down. About 90 Jews died, 30,000 were imprisoned in concentration camps where more Jews died, and over 7,000 Jewish businesses were destroyed.  Why did this happen? Hitler used a specific incident to allow the terrible night to happen. The pretext for this event happened in Paris, France. Here a young in Germany born Polish Jewish man Herschel Grynszpan murdered the German diplomat Ernst vom Rath because he was angry about Germany's anti-Jewish laws and the resulting bad treatment of Jews (although some people think
