But he is dismayed when his occupational therapist agrees with Billy that it is probably time for a wheel chair. Paul is angry at Billy and when David reveals that he found Paul knocking back vodka on a bench, Billy blames himself and explains that they had an argument. Billy watches as three drag queens help Paul out of a taxi and carry him into the Rovers. As everyone rallies round him Paul gets upset that it will be his last ever Pride.

Wasn't Pride in June?
ReplyDeleteIt may have been elsewhere, but not in Manchester. t's always been held during the August bank holiday weekend here. Leeds, Liverpool and Wigan had their pride weekend a few weeknds ago too.

ReplyDeleteRealistically Lily would invite all her mates from school, but that would mean paying extras!
