In Derry for #FoylePride, today. A bigoted preacher thanked a "hundred" people who turned up for his "service". I was wondering if they were hiding in the feckin' bushes. The rest of us are going to hell, apparently I'm bringing the gin, girls 😎🔥🍸 I walked with legends 💕

I'd appreciate any help in amplifying this that I can get. A lot of work went into it and it's the kind of story that most media wouldn't touch with a barge-pole, but I think it raises important issues that need to be discussed.
