There is no rule in the pink-triangle guide to coming out that you must wear a rainbow flag cap and organise a full band parade.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
And when it rains on your parade, look up rather than down. Without the rain, there would be no rainbow.
Being in a band you can wear whatever you want - it's like an excuse for Halloween every day.
Lots of times you have to pretend to join a parade in which you're not really interested in order to get where you're going.
When you're on top and you lead the parade, everyone's there throwing lilies and lilac water on your head. But when those parades have gone by and there's a storm in your heart, there are very few people that are going to sit there and listen to you bemoan life.
I tell you, if you're in the front row of the parade and you stop walking, pretty soon you're back in the tuba section. And if you want to lead the parade you've got to keep moving.
I parade in next to no clothes every day. It's hard not to compare yourself to other people, but I think everyone is different, and that is something we should be celebrating.
The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.
If you're not in the parade, you watch the parade. That's life.
I won't be in gay parades - I don't think they need them. I believe in class - I believe that people should have a bit of class about them.
I don't think I will ever get tired of wearing pink.
