A huge turnout from the LGBT community ensured that this year's Gay Pride was one of the more successful events of its kind in the country. It was the 19th annual gay pride parade. The theme of this year's event was "Love not Hate" Approximately 10 000 of the LGBT community truned out for the event, walking throught the streets of Rosebank and ending at the Zoo Lake Sports Club. Celebrations continued after the march with live entertainment and DJ's from 5FM keeping everyone's spirits up. LGBT victims of hate crimes were commemorated by adding poems, messages, artworks and menentoes to a Wall of Remembrance.
Stalls sold books, t-shirts, leatherwear and artworks. Community organisations also set up information booths to inform revellers about the services offered by them.
The Pride celebrations were concluded with parties hosted by bars and clubs across Gauteng Province.
An "Idols Dance party" is set to be held at the Sisulu Hall in Randburg on Saturday 6 December.
