Couldn't see this happening in Britain, there's too much apathy amongst the gay community here. Great to see such large numbers turning out for this.

Yea, and bears don't poop in the woods. It's only when Ratzy will be taken away in a pure white straight- jacket trimmed with white rabbit fur and lace, a piece of duct tape firmly pressed over his mouth and a bright red dunce cap on his head that Rome will progress towards tolerance and straight into acceptance. But I ain't bitter. “Rome is against intolerance and all racism”. ! ! ! !
