Well, I know there are alot of us on the boards here and I just want to wish everyone a wonderful time enjoying whatever festivities you have planned where you are. Sunday is the big parade here in Chicago. I will be one of the nutjobs on one of the apartment balconies along Halsted St. Be sure to wave!
What, if anything, is going on where you are?
Dallas does Pride in September. However, I’m going to the True Colors concert tonight with Erasure, Cindi Lauper, Rosie O’Donnell, Debbie Harry and others. Should be fun.
My college marching band will be playing in the SF Pride Parade tomorrow, so I’ll be there, although I won’t get to see many of the other entrants.
Our pride isn’t till end of July, but this coming weekend I’m going to a Radical Faeries gathering, then the weekend after that, I’ll be doing drag for the first time, at a fundraiser. I’ll be holding the table at the community day and in the NDP contingent at Pride, then we’ll be attending Ottawa and Quebec City prides later on.
Tel-Aviv and Jerusalem did Gay Pride two weeks ago and last week, respectively.
From this “straight” guy, Good luck with your various Gay Pride activities, wherever you are and whenever they occur! 
Slightly off topic, but I was doing a search with the best of intentions! 
(i.e. in order to find out when Edmonton does its Gay Pride thing).
How’s this for a “suitable” location for a Gay Pride Brunch!
That’s an AWESOME concert! We saw it in DC last Sunday and we both loved it.
LA Pride was a few weeks ago, I heard it was fun. SF is always interesting.
Portland had it last weekend. I usually volunteer for the Festival, but was in Las Vegas for a week for my twentieth wedding anniversary and couldn’t attend. I hear tell the weather was great, though.
BWA-HA-HA-HA! That’s perfect!
I had no idea it was Gay Pride Weekend, living in a particularly red part of a Red State. I’ll have to ask a work colleague, who lives in a community with a large gay population, if it was celebrated where he lives.
So, happy Gay Pride Weekend to all!
Toronto’s big parade is tomorrow, but I’m going to be up north visiting my father. Oh well…
Happy Pride, everyone!
Pride in Denver! I can’t wait for the parade tomorrow morning, although I wish I knew where to go tonight to party… Oooh, I’ve been excited for two weeks now…
Have a great time! Jayjay and I went last weekend and had a blast. :0)
Jayjay and I celebrate Pride here the last weekend in July. That’s when the local parade and festival happens. It was our first date 4 years ago, and we celebrate our anniversary that weekend too!
The concert was absolutely amazing. The Erasure performance had me dancing every single second!
Wow!
Las Vegas has their Pride Festival in May as it is (somewhat) cooler and people don’t pass out from the heat. The event gets larger and larger every year!
I remember the good times in both LA and in NYC during their Pride Celebrations - I remember ages ago at the NYC Gay Pride they had a flatbed truck as a stage at the end of Christopher Street with performers. It was early in the day and there were only 30 or 40 people listening to this band and I though they were really good - I asked a friend who they were and he said, “It is a local group - their name is Blondie.” Yep, it was Deborah Harry and gang before they became famous.
Happy Pride Weekend one and all!
We almost didn’t have Pride, btw, due to an improbable and rather moronic sequence of events. That’s been sorted out, and it appears that everything will go ahead, but for a while there I was wondering if I was going to have to break some heads.
Montreal without Pride? Can you imagine? It’d be like Rio without Carnaval. Freaking Iqaluit has Pride, for heaven’s sakes.
Ours was last weekend, and totally exhausting for those of us in the local gay men’s chorus. We did the parade on Saturday, quickly changed for our Saturday evening concert, then another performance on Sunday. Plus extra rehearsals for those of us in the dance numbers.
Now we’re experiencing post-pride depression, and getting ready for our 20th anniversary season.
Ok kids, I’m heading out to brunch and then the parade. I hope everyone has a fun day!
I honestly don’t know what’s going on around here. Haven’t heard about anything. But At the least there must be something going on on the Princeton U. campus.
But I used to live right off of 5th Ave. So I saw it every year. And when I was 14 I marched with GLYNY (gay and lesbian youth of New York). Not gay but (in this case quite literally) a fellow traveler.
You haven’t seen Gay Pride till you’ve seen it on Christopher St. Hey, we started it!
Happy Gay Pride Day! And good luck parading in 4’ heels . (Dykes with Bikes have the right idea…why walk when you can ride?)
