Gay Pride Day
Happy International Gay and Lesbian Pride Day to one and all!
I'm getting ready to go to the Pride Parade in downtown San Francisco.

I was planning to go to the NYC one, but I'm really hungover and not sure I want to go stand in the sun for several hours...

Well, this pride day, Starchild didn't hear back from ANYONE he wanted to go downtown with. So, instead, I opted to spend the day with my family. However, we didn't leave the house until 3:30 when were supposed to leave at noon. So I did zilch today.

There used to be a child day here. Though only for the youngest child in the family. That was all way before I was born though.

My wife and my sister wanted to go, so I tagged along to the NYC one. I was suprised to see a lot of floats by churches who are accepting of gays. Also there were a lot of political floats. Has anyone ever seen a right-wing gay float in one of these parades?

It would be very rare to see a right-wing float in a gay pride parade. Hate mongers are more prevelant on the right and usually gay people tend to not be hate mongers.

There are quite a few right-wing gays/bis on Apolyton.
People shouldn't confuse right-wing with hardcore religious whackos who happen to be right wing.

This year's Pride Parade seems ALOT more political than past parades. There were quite a few political floats interspersed thuoghout the parade. I too was also surprised at the number of gay-friendly religious floats in the parade.

I didn't go this year. Was just too hung over.
I made it a gay evening though by going to the movies with a cadre of gay friends. Unfortunately, I was vetoed on seeing Bourne Identity and was instead subjected to Scooby Doo. Horrific.

Thanks, I had never heard of them before.
I only saw the end of the parade which was mainly political and religious floats. The only thing I saw which utterly disgusted me was a couple of gay porn stars practically naked on top of a van. ugh!
Some other people were also wearing very little, but most of them I laughed at. Why do the most ugly people get the most naked?
