| Wot is the scene? The
scene is another term used to describe the rainbow village… following me yet? More
often than not people think the scene is nothing more than a collection of places and
events where the homosexual world goes to play. Although it is that, it is also many more
things; the gay community and the sense of belongingness and support that it can bring
also falls under this nice little pink umbrella. Following; is a novice guide to the local scene, identifying gay businesses, health and
welfare groups for you and your family as well as the all important pub‘n’club guide… enjoy!!! |
