CorkPride2008 in Black and White

"These fucking shoes are killing me!"- the words of a transvestite at corkpride2008.

Corkpride2008 was held on 1st of June and marked the third pride parade in Cork.

The carnival themed festival was like a breath of fresh air.

Whilst most on-lookers did not turn up especially for the occassion but rather just happened to be in the right place at the right time or wrong place at the wrong time - whichever way you look at it - it certainly made ya stop and stare, didn't it?

Spotted outside Merchants Quay were two women with a hound on a leash, looking absolutely disgusted and rather butch if I may add. If ever I wondered what female queer-bashers would look like, I wonder no more.

Most seemed pretty happy to be sucked into the fun though and school girls were whole heartedly singing along to "I Will Survive". Yes, you will survive!
