Exeter's big gay picnic: next weekend

To mark the International Day Against Homophobia (IDAHO) Exeter's Lesbian, Gay, Bi and Transvestite communities will be holding a celebratory picnic on Saturday 17th May at Medieval Exe Bridges, off Fore Street.

The organisers have requested no alcohol be brought to the event, which is probably a good thing. Whilst it knocks the chances of seeing a pair of lesbians rolling on the grass with reckless abandon it does also limit the chances of ending up in the embraces of a chick with a dick.

There will also be a big gay cake competition, all you need to do is turn up with your freshly cooked cake and a prize will be given for the best "anti-homophobia celebration cake". Just make sure you give it a good filling.

So if you're a lesbian, a gay, bisexual or just a trans-gendered man with a mutilated penis, a friend or family member, or simply a member of the wider society, then get in on the action in this relaxed, family-friendly environment from 12 – 3pm on the 17th.
