Next weekend is Liverpool Pride and I was going to write an entry about how important I think it is for Liverpool and why I would be going again. Then I realised I already did that - after last year's event:

So, I live in Warrington - this is a town half way between Manchester and Liverpool with a public transport system courtesy of the fairy godmother - the trains turn into carrots at midnight. As such I don't know the gay scene very well at either city and consequently have very few gay friends. This has little actual bearing at what's coming up, it's just a general moan. Manchester is obviously well known for it's gay village and annual pride event.

Liverpool is having a series of Queer related events as part of Homotopia and Outsiders. There's a few events I'm planning on going to including:

• 8th October - An Evening with Holly Woodlawn
• 18th October - Were the World Mine
