@22Michelle There are Pride events much closer to you. You could go with your wife. You don't have to dress, there were plenty of people at Stafford who were quite indistinguishable from the general public.
You don't even necessarily have to walk in the parade or attend the event itself, you could just sit outside a pub with a drink and watch the parade go by. There were all sorts of people there from drag queens done up to the nines wearing higher heels than mine to heterosexual parents with small children and no obvious LGBTQ+ connection. People just picked what they wanted out of the event; I walked in the parade but there were plenty of people with pride flags who just watched us go by.

@ninalanyon Yes, I must pay more attention to what's on. I'm an expert is noticing events after they happen.
