The parade today missed the participation of the big bars, it was quite small compared with other years. I can understand the feelings of the Paradise Bars; last night on the beach we were there until 11pm with quite a good crowd, money that is lost to Paradise.
On the other hand we talked with a family who had never seen a gay pride and thought it was great, there were many other straight people joining in and having a great time.
To some extent moving to the beach has been a success, but I missed the Paradise atmosphere.
