HIV activist, artist, performer and campaigner Vince Laws explains why ‘Pride Matters’ to him.
So Why is Pride Important?
Let me tell you why.
The bird that lives life
In a cage lives no life at all.
The bird that never
Sees the sky
Never feels the sun
Is like the caged canary
That only knows one song.
Imagine!
Setting that bird free
Letting it be the best canary it could ever be.
That’s why Pride’s important
And it belongs to everyone
Because we all deserve to be our best
To see the sky, the sun.
Norwich, once you were canaries,
But now that you have Pride
I can see your eagle soar
Across a rainbow sky.
