That's what Thierry Schaffhauser wrote to me:
There will be a pride in Hackney on the Saturday 4th September by Hackney Town Hall.
I am part of the organisers and I think it would be awesome if we can have a red umbrellas contingent during the march.
The march is a non-commercial event but will end with a small party/picnic in Shoreditch church park.
I think it can be the occasion to raise sex workers' demands and the situation in East London in particular.
QUEER MARCH ON HACKNEY!
MARCH STARTS 2PM
SATURDAY 4TH SEPTEMBER 2010
BY HACKNEY TOWN HALL
TO SHOREDITCH CHURCH

A voluntary community group has been formed to organise HACKNEY PRIDE MARCH in response to the rise of homophobic and transphobic attacks in the borough.
We want the event to be inclusive and show the unity of all communities in Hackney against not only homophobic and transphobic attacks, but all hate crime and intolerance.
We want the march to become a touch point and a platform for all the LGBT and queer community groups and charities in the Borough, as well as organisations who support LGBT, queer and human rights. We want to encourage all of these groups to share information and be visible at the march.
Alongside the community focus of Hackney Pride March is the increased de-politicisation and commercialisation of 'pride' events globally and for this reason we have set out to create a non-commercial event. No money, sponsorship or promotion will be received by any commercial businesses through Hackney Pride March.
We have the open support of:
Diane Abbott, MP
Cllr Jonathan McShane
Stuart Milk and The Harvey Milk Foundation
Maria Exall (CWU)
Dr. Peter Purton (TUC Disability and LGBT Policy Officer)
Hackney Green Party
Hackney Trades Council
