Then you are truly at home on the UCPH Pride bus<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It is the third year in a row that UCPH and the Studenterhuset sends a float to Copenhagen Pride. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is both to celebrate the city and to have a fun day. And it is also to send a signal of openness and tolerance,&#8221; says Jacob \u00d8rum, head of Studenterhuset before departure.<\/p>\n<p>The interest in taking part is overwhelming. In the weeks up to the parade, people queued up to the sign up on the site, and organizers had to tell participants that there unfortunately is no space for everyone to be on board. The message is accepted. There is nothing but love and good feelings in the air both on, and off, the float that day. Mixed with ros\u00e9 wine , shots and beer of course.<\/p>\n<div class=\"dme-image dme-image-center dme-image-preset-0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/old_files\/tredje_billede.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><em>A packed Frederiksberg celebrates the rainbow parade<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>You, I wanna take you to a gay bar<\/h2>\n<p>The lorry turns down <em>All\u00e9gade<\/em>, and a cheer erupts when the lorry discovers the attending crowd that has taken to the streets to celebrate the parade participants.<\/p>\n<p>Three exchange students look curiously at the many people on the truck.
