OliverM https://lgbthistoryuk.org/index.php?title=Pride_London&diff=15407 2013-07-16T09:41:48Z

<p>OliverM: Undo revision 15402 by OliverM (talk)</p> <hr /> <div>'''Pride London''' is a registered charity, founded in March 2004, since when it has been organising the annual [[London Pride Parade]] and associated events. It replaced [[London Mardi Gras]]. Its first chief executive was [[Jason Pollock]].<br /> <br /> In its first year, Pride London attracted a little over 30,000 people to central London for a parade and campaign rally in Trafalgar Square. From this small beginning, Pride London has grown at a staggering rate into becoming one of the United Kingdom’s largest events, and the largest LGBT event that the United Kingdom has ever seen.<br /> <br /> In 2005, Pride London expanded the event a cabaret stage in Leicester Square, and added more entertainment to the main stage on Trafalgar Square. The event increased in size, and attracted around 100,000 people.<br /> <br /> In 2006, Pride London hosted EuroPride, and fundamentally altered its set up. The parade was rerouted from Piccadilly to Oxford and Regent Streets, and the event footprint was expanded to include Soho. Approximately 600,000 people attended that event, making it a huge success for Pride London, and firmly establishing London’s Pride event as a major event in the LGBT calendar. Pride London also held a two week arts festival, culminating in an all-star fund-raiser in the Royal Albert Hall. On its campaigns, Pride London hosted the successful Prides Against Prejudice conference, focussing on holding Pride events in hostile environments. <br /> <br /> 2007 saw a host of external problems around the event. Pride London’s date was changed to a week earlier than usual in order to accommodate the Tour de France in London. On the Thursday before the event, a car-bomb was found located just off the parade route, and there were serious concerns that the parade would have to be stooped or rerouted. Thankfully, the bomb was cleared and the streets reopened on the Friday after intensive discussions with the Metropolitan Police and other statutory bodies. On the Saturday, driving rain started the day off, and the BBC incorrectly broadcast in the morning that Pride had been cancelled. This was only corrected after frantic telephone calls. Despite these tribulations, Pride London still attracted 200,000 people: significantly down on 2006, but still a big number for London.

<p>OliverM: /* External links */</p> <hr /> <div>'''Pride London''' is a registered charity, founded in March 2004, since when it has been organising the annual [[London Pride Parade]] and associated events. It replaced [[London Mardi Gras]]. Its first chief executive was [[Jason Pollock]].<br /> <br /> In its first year, Pride London attracted a little over 30,000 people to central London for a parade and campaign rally in Trafalgar Square. From this small beginning, Pride London has grown at a staggering rate into becoming one of the United Kingdom’s largest events, and the largest LGBT event that the United Kingdom has ever seen.<br /> <br /> In 2005, Pride London expanded the event a cabaret stage in Leicester Square, and added more entertainment to the main stage on Trafalgar Square. The event increased in size, and attracted around 100,000 people.<br /> <br /> In 2006, Pride London hosted EuroPride, and fundamentally altered its set up. The parade was rerouted from Piccadilly to Oxford and Regent Streets, and the event footprint was expanded to include Soho. Approximately 600,000 people attended that event, making it a huge success for Pride London, and firmly establishing London’s Pride event as a major event in the LGBT calendar. Pride London also held a two week arts festival, culminating in an all-star fund-raiser in the Royal Albert Hall. On its campaigns, Pride London hosted the successful Prides Against Prejudice conference, focussing on holding Pride events in hostile environments. <br /> <br /> 2007 saw a host of external problems around the event. Pride London’s date was changed to a week earlier than usual in order to accommodate the Tour de France in London. On the Thursday before the event, a car-bomb was found located just off the parade route, and there were serious concerns that the parade would have to be stooped or rerouted. Thankfully, the bomb was cleared and the streets reopened on the Friday after intensive discussions with the Metropolitan Police and other statutory bodies. On the Saturday, driving rain started the day off, and the BBC incorrectly broadcast in the morning that Pride had been cancelled. This was only corrected after frantic telephone calls. Despite these tribulations, Pride London still attracted 200,000 people: significantly down on 2006, but still a big number for London. The following weekend saw glorious sunshine for the Tour de France. <br /> <br /> Pride London announced its twinning arrangement with the Latvian LGBT rights organization Mozaika this year as well, an arrangement that Pride London and Mozaika still maintain today.<br /> <br /> 2008 saw the return to normality. Pride London was restored to its normal date of the first Saturday in July, and the event expanded significantly. 820,000 people attended in what proved to be one of the biggest LGBT events recorded in the United Kingdom ever. Pride London was awarded a prestigious ‘Gold’ award by Visit London for its activities in 2008, marking Pride London as one of the top tourism ventures in London. <br /> <br /> In October 2008, Pride London applied to InterPride for WorldPride status. In a hotly contested competition with Stockholm Pride, Pride London won the bid process, and was awarded WorldPride status, with the WorldPride event scheduled for 2012. <br /> <br /> In 2009, Pride London grew once again, with over 1,000,000 people attending the event as participants or spectators. Pride London also re-launched its arts festival, and had over 80 events running in the two weeks prior to the main day.

<p>OliverM: </p> <hr /> <div>'''Pride London''' is a registered charity, founded in March 2004, since when it has been organising the annual [[London Pride Parade]] and associated events. It replaced [[London Mardi Gras]]. Its first chief executive was [[Jason Pollock]].<br /> <br /> In its first year, Pride London attracted a little over 30,000 people to central London for a parade and campaign rally in Trafalgar Square. From this small beginning, Pride London has grown at a staggering rate into becoming one of the United Kingdom’s largest events, and the largest LGBT event that the United Kingdom has ever seen.<br /> <br /> In 2005, Pride London expanded the event a cabaret stage in Leicester Square, and added more entertainment to the main stage on Trafalgar Square. The event increased in size, and attracted around 100,000 people.<br /> <br /> In 2006, Pride London hosted EuroPride, and fundamentally altered its set up. The parade was rerouted from Piccadilly to Oxford and Regent Streets, and the event footprint was expanded to include Soho. Approximately 600,000 people attended that event, making it a huge success for Pride London, and firmly establishing London’s Pride event as a major event in the LGBT calendar. Pride London also held a two week arts festival, culminating in an all-star fund-raiser in the Royal Albert Hall. On its campaigns, Pride London hosted the successful Prides Against Prejudice conference, focussing on holding Pride events in hostile environments. <br /> <br /> 2007 saw a host of external problems around the event. Pride London’s date was changed to a week earlier than usual in order to accommodate the Tour de France in London. On the Thursday before the event, a car-bomb was found located just off the parade route, and there were serious concerns that the parade would have to be stooped or rerouted. Thankfully, the bomb was cleared and the streets reopened on the Friday after intensive discussions with the Metropolitan Police and other statutory bodies. On the Saturday, driving rain started the day off, and the BBC incorrectly broadcast in the morning that Pride had been cancelled. This was only corrected after frantic telephone calls. Despite these tribulations, Pride London still attracted 200,000 people: significantly down on 2006, but still a big number for London. The following weekend saw glorious sunshine for the Tour de France. <br /> <br /> Pride London announced its twinning arrangement with the Latvian LGBT rights organization Mozaika this year as well, an arrangement that Pride London and Mozaika still maintain today.<br /> <br /> 2008 saw the return to normality. Pride London was restored to its normal date of the first Saturday in July, and the event expanded significantly. 820,000 people attended in what proved to be one of the biggest LGBT events recorded in the United Kingdom ever. Pride London was awarded a prestigious ‘Gold’ award by Visit London for its activities in 2008, marking Pride London as one of the top tourism ventures in London. <br /> <br /> In October 2008, Pride London applied to InterPride for WorldPride status.

<p>OliverM: </p> <hr /> <div>'''Pride London''' is a registered charity, founded in March 2004, since when it has been organising the annual [[London Pride Parade]] and associated events. It replaced [[London Mardi Gras]]. Its first chief executive was [[Jason Pollock]].<br /> <br /> In its first year, Pride London attracted a little over 30,000 people to central London for a parade and campaign rally in Trafalgar Square. From this small beginning, Pride London has grown at a staggering rate into becoming one of the United Kingdom’s largest events, and the largest LGBT event that the United Kingdom has ever seen.<br /> <br /> In 2005, Pride London expanded the event a cabaret stage in Leicester Square, and added more entertainment to the main stage on Trafalgar Square. The event increased in size, and attracted around 100,000 people.<br /> <br /> In 2006, Pride London hosted EuroPride, and fundamentally altered its set up. The parade was rerouted from Piccadilly to Oxford and Regent Streets, and the event footprint was expanded to include Soho. Approximately 600,000 people attended that event, making it a huge success for Pride London, and firmly establishing London’s Pride event as a major event in the LGBT calendar. Pride London also held a two week arts festival, culminating in an all-star fund-raiser in the Royal Albert Hall. On its campaigns, Pride London hosted the successful Prides Against Prejudice conference, focussing on holding Pride events in hostile environments. <br /> <br /> 2007 saw a host of external problems around the event. Pride London’s date was changed to a week earlier than usual in order to accommodate the Tour de France in London. On the Thursday before the event, a car-bomb was found located just off the parade route, and there were serious concerns that the parade would have to be stooped or rerouted. Thankfully, the bomb was cleared and the streets reopened on the Friday after intensive discussions with the Metropolitan Police and other statutory bodies. On the Saturday, driving rain started the day off, and the BBC incorrectly broadcast in the morning that Pride had been cancelled. This was only corrected after frantic telephone calls. Despite these tribulations, Pride London still attracted 200,000 people: significantly down on 2006, but still a big number for London. The following weekend saw glorious sunshine for the Tour de France. <br /> <br /> Pride London announced its twinning arrangement with the Latvian LGBT rights organization Mozaika this year as well, an arrangement that Pride London and Mozaika still maintain today.<br /> <br /> 2008 saw the return to normality. Pride London was restored to its normal date of the first Saturday in July, and the event expanded significantly. 820,000 people attended in what proved to be one of the biggest LGBT events recorded in the United Kingdom ever. Pride London was awarded a prestigious ‘Gold’ award by Visit London for its activities in 2008, marking Pride London as one of the top tourism ventures in London. <br /> <br /> In October 2008, Pride London applied to InterPride for WorldPride status. In a hotly contested competition with Stockholm Pride, Pride London won the bid process, and was awarded WorldPride status, with the WorldPride event scheduled for 2012. <br /> <br /> In 2009, Pride London grew once again, with over 1,000,000 people attending the event as participants or spectators.

<p>OliverM: /* LGBT History */</p> <hr /> <div>{{English Counties Map|float=right|width=400}}'''England''' is the largest country within the [[United Kingdom]].<br /> <br /> During the Roman Empire the area now known as England formed the major part of the Province of Britannia, having been conquered by the Emperor Claudius in AD 43.<br /> <br /> After the Romans left it was settled by Anglo-Saxon tribes, which formed a number of kingdoms. England is considered to have been united as a single Kingdom in 927 by King Æthelstan of Wessex. The Kings of England became Lords of [[Ireland]] during the 12th century, and conquered [[Wales]] during the 13th Century. The Crown of England was united with that of [[Scotland]] on the accession of King [[James I]] in 1603.<br /> <br /> For many legal purposes [[England and Wales]] are treated as a single unit. Since the devolution in the other parts of the United Kingdom, some UK Acts of Parliament now apply to England only.<br /> <br /> ==Local government==<br /> <br /> Local government in England has been reorganised several times in the 20th century. The country is currently divided into 48 [[ceremonial counties]] as shown on the map opposite. Within individual ceremonial counties there are a number of different arrangements:<br /> <br /> *Greater London has an overall authority, the [[Greater London Authority]], and borough councils for each of the 32 London Boroughs (plus the [[City of London]], which is nonetheless a separate ceremonial county)<br /> *The six metropolitan counties ([[Greater Manchester]], [[Merseyside]], [[South Yorkshire]], [[Tyne and Wear]], [[West Midlands]], and [[West Yorkshire]]) are each divided into [[metropolitan borough]]s: each borough has its own council running all local government services.<br /> *Of the remaining counties, most but not all have county councils; some county councils are [[unitary authorities]] providing all services, while others provide only certain services, the reminder being provided by district councils. Some districts within particular ceremonial counties are [[unitary authorities]], not covered by the county council. See the articles on individual counties for details.<br /> <br /> ==Police forces==<br /> For police services in England and the rest of the UK (with map), see [[Police]].<br /> <br /> ==LGBT History==<br /> <br /> Homesexuality was punished by law in England from the [[Buggery Act 1533]] and was decriminalised in stages starting with the [[Sexual Offences Act 1967]].

<p>OliverM: /* References */ Tidy</p> <hr /> <div>[[File:Disambig gray.svg|thumb|Disambiguation logo]]'''Disambiguation pages''' on this Wiki are used to resolve conflicts in article titles that occur when a single term can be associated with more than one topic, making that term likely to be the natural title for more than one article. In other words, disambiguations are paths leading to different articles which could, in principle, have the same title.<br /> <br /> For example, the word &quot;Polari&quot; can refer to several different things, including a language used by gay people, and an organisation for older LGBT people. Since only one page on this Wiki can have the generic name &quot;Polari&quot;, unambiguous article titles are used for each of these topics: [[Polari (language)]], [[Polari (organisation)]], &lt;cite&gt;[[Polari magazine]]&lt;/cite&gt;, and [[TV Polari]]. There must then be a way to direct the reader to the correct specific article when an ambiguous term is referenced by linking, browsing or searching; this is what is known as disambiguation. In this case it is achieved using [[Polari]] as a disambiguation page.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> Based on a Wikipedia page: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Disambiguation Wikipedia Help:Disambiguation]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Wiki help]]<br /> [[Category:Disambiguation pages| ]]</div>
