I had a wonderful time at Nottinghamshire Pride.  It was the first pride festival where I performed my work.  I read my Biphobia story and my Personal Ad hell poem (I was asked to do non-smut!) on the Community stage.  It was certainly daunting to look out at all the people having picnics on the grass as I read out loud.

This was only my second time at Nottinghamshire Pride.  I got totally lost in Nottingham, but some friendly goths helped me find my way.  I felt really welcomed the whole day, which was great.

I read my pieces in the afternoon, so I had a lot of time to enjoy all the other acts including a brililant dance troupe, soulful Single Bass, and some spoken word from Seattle’s El Dia, whose Dragon Lady tune blew me away.  Maryam Bibi Din did a mythbusting piece on Queer Muslims that would have made the entire day worth it.  There was just so much to enjoy!
