Although London's Pride Parade couldn't take place this year, the capital has still been taken over by the festival. As part of the celebrations, the 'London Lights' advertising screen in Piccadilly Circus was taken over by Pride in London, and featured a slideshow of the groups that would have been taking part in the parade - including BLUF.
You can see our slide in the photo, or follow this link to see the whole parade - BLUF appears around 2 minutes 30 seconds.
Thirty years ago, on the 27th June 1990, I sent the Welcome message to uk-motss, which was (probably) the UK's first internet email list specifically for LGBT people. It was also the first online community I created, and perhaps the one of which I'm still most proud - there are people who came out there, who met their partners through it, who are married because of it.
But this post isn't really about me. This post is about the other people. People who are an essential part of the LGBT community, but who don't often get thought about when we praise our heroes, and celebrate our leaders.
It's easy to remember the people who take the stage, whether with rousing speeches or a stunning drag performance. It's easy to remember those who took a stand, turning themselves in to a police station to show the absurdity of the law, or taking the country to court to prove that the law was wrong, and discriminatory.

But a community isn't just leaders. A community is the people on
…BLUF's website isn't just for our members. You'll find plenty of information available to non-members too, including our listings of leather and fetish vendors, leather venues, and local leather clubs, around the world.
The BLUF events calendar features events worldwide, organised by a wide range of clubs and other groups, and as well as BLUF topics, our blog often includes posts of general interest to the leather community.
Members of BLUF also have access to our online magazine, which includes reports from BLUF events, exclusive photo galleries, and even short stories written by other members. The member forum provides places to share tips or ask for help on a range of topics, incuding For Sale and Wanted sections, travel advice and more.
On your BLUF profile, you can even let people know if you have a guest room, or can show them round your city, and our sophisticated search tools can help you find a bed in a city, or even someone who's into the same things as you, with a playroom, who rides a bike and speaks German.
We're committed to keeping BLUF membership free, with all members getting all the functions of the site. BLUF is funded by donations and sales of BLUF merchandise. Members who donate to BLUF qualify for the BLUF card, which gives discounts at a range of vendors, including Boxer, Clone Zone, Fetish Freak, Mister B and Regulation.
