Schools Out call for Pride paraders

Ready for London Pride 2009? Would you like to support Schools Out's fight against homophobia in schools? We are looking for people to join us and take part in a walking group at the London Pride Parade. Come and join us!

We will be forming up on Saturday, July 4th, around 12 o’clock in “section A” near the head of the parade, behind the gloriously decorated double decker known affectionately to all as “Betty’s Bus”. Look out for the brand new Schools Out banner.

We are going to march with “Out for our Children”, a parent organisation
There is going to be a Schools Out Stall on Trafalgar Square
We will go for at least one drink afterwards

To those of you who already know that they are going to be at the march to support Schools Out, send an email to schoolsoutlondon@yahoo.co.uk so that we have an idea of numbers! You can also join our Facebook event here.
