I was really excited if a bit nervous about attending my first-ever Pride. It’s been a big year for me as I am now “out” to family and friends and I had no worries about people knowing I was Transgender.
My Essex Pride actually started the night before with my local LGBT group; we had a party to get the weekend off to a good start! Recovering somewhat from the previous night’s partying, I eventually got to the park, meeting up with some friends along the way.
