Stills from the film Pride where Bromley is in the bookshop and upset about being called a pervert.
Bromley: They called us perverts.
Mark: Bromley. It’s time for an important part of your education. Hands up in this room if you’ve ever been called a name like that.
Every single hand is raised.
Mark: Now, there is long and honourable tradition in the gay community and it has stood us in good stead for a very long time.
Bromley looks away.
Mark: When someone calls you a name -
Mark looks over at Jonathan and says, “Am I right about this Jonathan?”
Jonathan: Dead right.
Mark: You take it and you own it.
