Fag Hag - Lilly Allen

I like apple pie
And you like banoffee
We both love shopping for furniture
And meeting for coffee
We pretend we're into art galleries
'Cause it makes us feel clever
We're both in our element when we're on our knees
Whatever the weather

I could be your fag hag
And you could be my gay
I'll never make you feel sad
When you come out to play

I could be your fag hag
And you could be my gay
I'll never make you feel sad
When you come out to play

We don't give a fuck
What people are thinking
I know you'll always look out for me
When we go out drinking
I can ask you things I can't ask anyone
And you'll give me direction
Apart from me, you're the only other person I know
Who reads the travel section

I could be your fag hag
And you could be my gay
I'll never make you feel sad
When you come out to play

Pride Parade

A real Fag Hag has to support her gay friends. One of the best ways to do it is to join them in the Pride Parade. A Pride Parade is an event celebrating gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) culture. These events also serve as demonstrations for legal rights such as same-sex marriage.

I only have been in one Pride Parade, the Pride Barcelona. It was an amazing day for me. I took pictures with everyone, I met new friends, I danced with everyone… I loved it! The funny thing is that my gay friends hate Pride Barcelona (and all the Pride Parades in general). They don’t feel represented with the ambient of the Parades, and they don’t think that fighting for their rights should be done in a Parade. Also, usually the media interview and film the weirdest people –just to get more audience-, and these images are what everyone watches. So, for example, my grandmother thinks that all my gay friends are like that weird people that appear on TV. In conclusion, for my gay friends there is a problem of representation of gay society by the media.

Pride Barcelona is a big event in Spain, and it takes place between the 22^nd of May and the 1^st of July, but the most famous one is in Madrid. However, this year I think I will go to Pride London. It takes place between the 23^rd of June and the 8^th of July. If anyone wants to come, you can join me!
