Here are 19 beautiful pictures of Birmingham Pride

Birmingham Pride, one of the first on the UK Pride calendar, brightened up the streets with color today (26 May).

On our annual Pride Bags road trip, Gay Star News arrived in the Midlands city for the first stop on their summer tour, travelling around the UK with our proud sponsors handing out exclusive bags full of merchandise for Pride goers.

Along with Skittles, Jet2Holidays, npower, Manchester United, Staples Solutions, Pink Lady®, Hoseasons, cottages.com, Clarins Men, Age UK and Soopa Doopa, Gay Star News will be celebrating on their whistle-stop tour of Pride in London, Bristol Pride, Leeds Pride, Glasgow Pride and Manchester Pride.

Here’s some of our favorite shots from the day and our livestream of the Birmingham Pride parade:
