Every year we've had protestors at the Norwich Pride Parade waving placards with quotes from the Bible. It can be really upsetting for the people on the Parade. In 2010 members of the Pride Collective stood next to them with rainbow balloons to send a signal to the Parade to ignore the protests, this was our day to feel safe and proud to be ourselves.

The poster for Norwich Pride 2010 designed by art student Sammy Bettis. The aim was to capture the excitement of the Pride Parade and capture the diversity and numbers of people who come to Norwich Pride.

This was the first time Norwich Pride appeared in the news - a small article in the Advertiser. We hadn't done a press release so it was quite a shock to see it with the word H O M O S E X U A L S spelt out in capitals at the top! The local papers would go on to give us wonderful, accurate, colourful coverage over the years but we cherish this cutting as an example of where Norwich was at before Pride - a time when reporters imagined a "Gay Pride" event would feature HOMOSEXUALS, transvestites and transsexuals parading throughout the city for 2 days!

The police watch the Parade as it makes its way down Theatre St. The original plan was to walk on the pavement but the Parade got so big they did an emergency road closure.

Rob was Head Steward and responsible for recruiting and training volunteer stewards to guide the Parade safely through the city. He was really chuffed with how well it went.

It was such a happy day! Nobody expected so many people to come on the first Pride Parade. When we did a survey 9 months earlier, lots of people said wouldn't take part as "people might see me" so it was brilliant to see so many out & proud on the day.
