Got Pride?
Its that time of year again, when the sun is (hopefully) shining, rainbow flags fill the air, and hot boys fill the streets – oh yes, Pride season is well and truly under way. And with so many events this year you are spoilt for choice. Here are some tips on how to make the most of the big day:
1. Get an early start – Pride is the gayest day in the calendar, so make the most of it. You can sleep for the rest of the 
year.
2. Don’t Peak too soon – if you start out doing vodka shots with bacardi breezer and chasers before breakfast, chances are you’re going to be passed out (or in A&E) by lunchtime. Remember Pride is a marathon not a sprint.
3. Drink lots of water – being out in the sun, drinking alcohol and taking recreational drugs can all lead to one thing – dehydration. It is one of the main reasons people end up in the medic tent in Pride day, so make sure you drink plenty of water throughout the day.
4. Rub on some sun block – even if it’s cloudy, you can still get a nasty sunburn if you are outside all day, And a bright red face isn’t a good look for post-Pride parties. Put some SPF 15 on before you leave the house and bring some with you so you can top it up later.
5. Bring condoms/lube – you can access these free via our Condoms by Post system.
6. Have a brilliant day
