I've been to two Pride events, one in my town and one in a nearby big city, and unfortunately I hated them. - too much noise, too many people, and nothing interesting to do. I think I'm just not cut out for events like that, because I don't enjoy socialising or doing the activities that are usually on offer at Pride (e.g. communal eating and drinking, live music, stalls, workshops, etc), so for me it just felt like a cross between a youth club and a shopping centre on a Saturday afternoon. It makes me sad, to be honest, because Pride is supposed to be the high point of the gay year, but I don't enjoy it at all, so I feel like I'm missing out on what should be a rewarding part of the Gay Experience.
