Frankfurt Gay Pride Parade I












FuFu Life in Frankfurt - Part Twenty Seven
17th July 2010 | Frankfurt Gay Pride Parade I


"Proud of Our Diversity" | Frankfurt Gay Pride Parade 2010.

This year, the Gay Pride Parade and its demonstration are under the slogan "Proud of our diversity". Diversity includes difference. Diversity can be enriched, instead, if you tolerate, accept and not afraid of it (Source : CSD Frankfurt's website). Gay movement in Europe had already reached homosexual equality in 40 years. Yet, they still face discrimination even nominally liberal European countries and have to work in social and legal context, demanding for equality and recognition. This is no ground for discrimination - either on the part of straight people, nor on the part of homosexuals and transsexuals.

As what the slogan aims for, more tolerance and acceptance to homosexual within the European community. Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people are different from heterosexuals only in their sexual orientation gathered today in Frankfurt and presented an impressive parade! It's my first Gay Parade ever and had a blast time with my coursemates before we left Frankfurt. As usual, had insanely taken more than 1000 pictures in couples of hours.


Walking to Römer from the subway station.


It's packed with people!




Standing on the meeting point and waiting for coursemates.


Gays include also Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender people.



It was really a funny parade with music and people doing some jiggles. The street was packed with Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender (GLBT) people and i almost couldn't get my way through the crowds to the meeting point with my coursemates. Once i was there suddenly i was surrounded by many interesting figures with heavy make-up on their body and faces and outrageous costumes. Men either disguised as women in grand but silly costumes or scantily dressed and making more merry than anything.

After a while i realised that it was actually quite a sight and amusing that i eventually enjoyed the madness every second I remained there while snapping and taking videos and followed the beats of ever flooding loud music. The whole parade would take two hours so we decided to get something for lunch. While searching for food, i just couldn't stop myself from snapping and taking videos until my friend Erla had to pull me away. Worth to mention that, i was forced to take pictures with a guy(or lady) with a strange wig.


The poster of the parade.


The Gay Pride Flags flying everywhere in the city.




Oh, this lady-man is damn so sexy!


Wow... bling bling bling...






Hardcore type!








Erla with the UM guy!












Ops!










Aww... here is a cute boy for you all!






You guys gotta watch the video to check out his Chinese name.















I have no idea, but I need therapy after taking this photograph.






OMG, he should go to Thailand or Korea for the surgery!


The only day GLBT people dare to kiss in public.


This guy dances pretty good!






Les-peranza party! Anyone?


The cock-ordinator! lol






































Know why European countries are all very clean?


Because they clean the venue of any event right after it'd finished.

Don't believe? Check out this video!

So finally the parade has started!




Compared with the cultural parade, this Gay Pride Parade is bigger!


The number of visitors increases more than double.





To have a taste of this delightful event tradition before Part II

Take a look at this clip.

I found their costumes were quite interesting and stunning too! BTW, what therapy are you gonna take after taking the photo of that old lady "sexy" man? Hehehe.... I also saw them distributed some cards with words (slogan?) written on them. What were the cards about? :)

So far how's your life in Brazil?

fufu said...

edward : i wanna wash my eyes >< disgusting... but well bravi to them as they are brave enough to put on such costumes... anyway wish they would take care of the visitors' feeling lol

hcpen said...

nice photos. keep it up!:-) aiyo, can't stand some of ur female readers seriously, fufu, so stupid..what do they mean 'wasted' 'y become gay'?!! Hello, it's like now is 2010 not 1990, omg, like from kampung...just because you go to gay pride they think you could be gay, so silly. Don't they know precisely BECAUSE the guys are handsome and nice, more likely to be gay? like duh...they must think all the gay guys must be perverted and ugly, otherwise is called 'wasted'..so stupid, like village people never go out...sorry, just surprised and dissapointed at how little some malaysians have progressed in terms of lgbt acceptance/understanding, its like the time still stand still for them..

shloke said...

LGBTs have always been among us, forming a part of our society. People should be open-minded and compassionate. Well it's good to see people who are trying to make sure everyone is treated equally. I can't wait for Asian to move forward.

I have gay friends and I'm fine with them. I think they will tell you "I'm no different than you. I have eyes so see, ears to hear, and a heart that loves. No one in this world is perfect".

Thanks for sharing, fu!

Cheers!

蓝天白云 said...

FM Radio Streaming said...

Best parade! aiya those guys so handsome n cute

嘿嘿 said...

真真假假,假假真真,
亦真亦假,以假乱真!

哈哈哈~~~~~

London Caller said...

Aiya... The only wasted thing was that you didn't join the parade with your pants on lah.

I guess your comments will suddenly jump to 1,000 if you put your hot pictures of yourself in the parade here.

But I think the best gay pride must be in London!
Its like the whole town has turned into pink every summer.

Alamak, it's 2010 you're still homosexual, transexual, heterosexual, bisexual?

Too old school liao lah.

Now it's pansexual! Ha ha... You can have sex with anything!

Have you heard of Objectum Sexual?

Hmm... I am like a sex expert!

PS: Those are not lady boys. They're drag queens.

fufu said...

hcpen : well appreciate your comment here.. well yeah not only malaysians, most of the people in asian or even in europe still could accept GLBT people... that's why they are still having such parade every year to fight for their rights... wasted is just to express they missed a handsome boy, just like guys will claimed wasted on a girl who attached with an ugly guy, take it easy... most of the people still need time to accept, just like the women president/prime minister... relax!! i dont mind how poeple think about me, because i am who i am, i cant control their minds...(probably some of the are kidding with me here ya) just those who know me well will understand me, and i dont need all to know me well... :)


shloke : yeah most of my LGBT friends are very friendly :) and funny also ya :) hihihihi erm agree with you that we are all the same... just our sex preferences are different =p Europe has been fighting for more than 40years yet the people still keep fighting for the equal rights... i wonder ho many years Asian countries need to move forward towards LGBT's right...


bluecloud : you are welcome :) it's my pleasure to share with you all here ya :) do come back often as i still have many stuff wanna share with you guys =p it's very special to me too, glad you guys enjoy this post :) i have part two also, hehehe more pictures and videos =p stay tuned lol

fufu said...

foongpc : hahhaa then you have to come to Germany next year around mid of July :) hahahhaa if you ever wanna see the parade yourself :)

~eRiC~ said...

I think Mardi Gras in Aussie is held in much larger scale right? Adam Lambert performed there before i think... XD

Kenny Mah said...

This reminds me of the Cyndi Lauper song 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun', except here it's Girls AND Boys AND Everyone in Between who wanna have fun! ;)

Brilliant snapshots of the parade, as usual. You are gifted at capturing all these colourful moments, my friend FuFu. :)

escape said...

lesbians are beautiful! bring them over to the philippines.

单身汉 said...

谢谢你的分享,让大家大开眼界。

Wee Han said...

THE GAYS MARCH ON!

And that's a pride every respectable human being should have. Equality for all! It's not about how one looks or how one dress, the essence of a person's sexuality lies in the hearts of hearts and also, the libido.

Nice post fufu! :)

猪公主 said...

lol...i like their special costume.
haha...i like 2 c those handsome good looking gay. however lesbian nt so interest =p

Nicole said...

Holy cow, this is amazing!
I would have loved to be there and shoot some shots too. What a bunch of interesting faces and people!

Yih Yann said...

Wao...their culture so open. I'm still can't accept guy kissing guy...disgusting.

Bengbeng said...

i cant imagine this parade in conservative msia

summer said...

這個在馬來西亞肯定看不到:)一種開放的文化~

London Caller said...

Ha ha... That's just one part of me!
There used to be a TB programme called "Sex Etcetera" or something... I learnt all those names from there!

Ha ha... Very entertaining and educational!

Got wax, toy, BDSM, maid, cowboy, too many things to mention. Also got Asian section - maybe you'll like this section! Ha ha.

Here in UK, you can see naked people having sex on the TV. But by law, they cannot show you erected penis. However, for educational purpose, they can by-pass this law.

For example, just a couple of months ago, there's one TV programme about UK's Teenage sexual issues. They put a lot of erected penises there and explained the difference of "grower" and "shower". Ha ha ha...

Do you know what "grower" and "shower" are?

Basically, if your penis is short or medium size when soft but it "grows" to a much greater size when hard. We call you a "grower".

"Shower" is when you have a rather big cock when flaccid, it only grows an inch or two when hard. It's like putting on a show, that's why it's a "shower".

Ha ha... English is the best language to learn sex!!

小雪 : 對呀這個遊行真的很特別哦 對我們來説 :) lucky我可以有機會親眼看到 =p

London Caller said...

Ha ha... Most Asians are "growers".
Because there are more Asian people in this world (thanks to China lah) So, statistically there are more "growers".

But it doesn't matter if you're grower or shower.
Length is not the problem.
The problem is how to use it correctly!

Ha ha... I'll teach you that next time lah!?!
But I guess you learnt most of it in Japan already, right?

fufu said...

London Caller : as long as it works, be it grower or shower!! who cares?? haha and like what you said, skill is more important than size :) haha i am a good boy until now... was still a innocent boy when i was in japan XD

micki said...

That is so true, we shall learn from the clouds! Beautiful writing about the sky and clouds! Four seasons in a day, ha! you would have to dress in layers! :)

fufu said...

micki : yeah true!!! always have my jacket with me... when it's cold... just put it on =p we all should learn from all mother nature :)

June (An Asian Traveler) said...

Wow, what a fun gay parade! And I like how they observe cleanliness by cleaning up immediately after the parade. Oh how I wish, we can also do that in the Philippines.

海市蜃樓 said...

哈哈,真喺吻下來,豁出去。這種遊行在我這裡肯定是叫烏煙瘴氣,一塌糊塗。只有開放的外國,才能接受。

華人的社會依然是思想開放,行為保守。

Love poems said...

Its great resource. i was finding that type inf and now i get it.thanks for this...

vialentino said...

wah...envy those gays body...wish to have their body...kekeke

fufu said...

June : yeah true! i wish malaysia can do it also ya :) because it's one very important issue to attract more visitors =p and improve the country's image... hihihi nice parade ya...


海市蜃樓 : 哈哈哈 這裡雖然有這個遊行...但還是還沒有完全接受的...不然他們不會每一年都遊行來爭取他們的權利 :) anyway 他們還是比我們/亞洲開放多了 =p


Love poems : well glad you dind it helpful ya :)

fufu said...

vialentino : hahaha because you are not gay, so you dont need such body =p hahaha but well some LGBT people are really disgusting ><

行走绿色世界 said...

MASA said...

I hate gays..their body shape are great but.. what a waste..
I like the cleaning part, hope Malaysia will care about cleaning like there too.

fufu said...

Winnt : yeah kudos to london caller!!! i also learned a lot from him lol :) erm well love is for everyone... LGBT people also need :) we are all human beings ya wish more and more people would accept them, so they dont need to have such parade, fighting for the equality =p


MASA : hahahaha why wanna hate them? they also dont want to be like that... erm well we are all human beings :) dont even try to discriminate anyone lol

London Caller said...

Skill? Aiya... not skill.
It's technique! Ha ha.

You can master the skill but you cannot fully understand the technique if you don't try harder! Ha ha...

Anyway, you come my place today.
I posted something about Brazil.
Also, I think my Japanese is a bit strange.
Please let me know if you see anything funny. OK?

Matt said...

Nice pics and videos of the parade. I like your open mindedness - it's interesting reading your responses to some of the comments. Thank you. :-)

jam said...

Wow! I have never seen so many gays before gathering in one place. I believe such gathering will never be allowed in Malaysia.

Vincent Cho said...

yum yum.. they have a nice body shape.. >.<

天王之子 said...


很热闹哦

London Caller said...

Thanks Fufu for your corrections.
I don't use those Google Translate online tools.
They only translate words NOT meanings.
It's all written by me. ;-)

But I write everything in English first.
So my Japanese may sound a bit English?! Ha ha...

fufu said...

London Caller : damn you are the sifu man!!! so i think i better do more later so i can master the skill... haha


Matt : haha glad you enjoy reading both my post and replies :) hihihi miss reading your blog too, wish i have time to update my xanga more frequent =p

First time seeing this type of parade. But it does look quite amusing and interesting, especially their flashy costumes. =D

And yep, there are really good looking guys and I see more bishounen. Glad to know bishies do exist in real life too, and not just in manga. =D
