Why gay parade?

I suggested the topic "presentation and representation of gay parade", simply because of my experience in Oslo. Since I arrived in Norway as an exchange student, I have been looking forward to at least go to one gay pride parade.

However, it is rather difficult to search for one in winter time, therefore before I left Europe in the end of June, I could only go to Oslo Pride, which is a relatively small one. Anyway, it was still a nice experience. Not only because of the nice crowd, also because of the interesting use of symbols, colours, and of course, language. Therefore I think it would be an interesting project to explore the use of language in gay parade.

From now on, I will write more on the experience in Oslo, and the information of Pride London and Hong Kong Pride, which I gathered for this project.
