I haven’t even watched it yet, but a bunch of my friends are pretty jazzed about it.
And tomorrow I’m marching in the pride parade with them. I don’t expect Romney to show up.
June has always been Pride month… 
(Well not *always *obviously, but for as long as I can remember hearing the term “Pride Month” it’s always been in June.)
Yes, but this is the first time that a US president has acknowledged and supported it.
Except Obama did it in the three previous years. And before him, Clinton did as well.
Yup, according to Wikipedia:On five occasions, the President of the United States has officially declared a Pride Month. First, President Bill Clinton declared June “Gay & Lesbian Pride Month” on June 2, 2000. Then, in 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012, President Barack Obama declared June Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month.
An extra note, GW Bush didn’t celebrate that. But he did do things like Asian Pacific American Heritage Month And Black History Month. And June As Black Music Month.
So he wasn’t above celebrating minorities their months. Just the gays.
Way to play into the hands of the Asian/Pacific-American agenda, George.
I found the thread title a little enigmatic. 
“Pride? Pride about what?”
“Oh, nothing in particular. Just go out there and be proud.”
I was thinking that too. “Pride month? Pride in what?”
The person who told me that this was new this year is just calling it pride, so I guess I just picked that up from her. But the group I’m marching in the parade with tomorrow has members that are pretty much every conceivable orientation there is, so calling it gay pride sort of sells it short.

but I hope your parade goes well.
Over a third of those something to eat or drink.
Now I’m hungry.
I was kinda hoping that lane courtesy month was to bring about the need to recognize others bowling around you. They really need to be more specific.
That’s why they included Bathroom Reading Month, Potty Training Month, Rebuild Your Life Month and Cancer Month. To ruin your appetite.
Worst. Parade. Ever.
Speak for yourself. I am ALL ABOUT the Soul Food Parade.
Right you are. I lost my favorite pair of shoes in a Potty Training Awareness Month parade
A month?! My hands are just bloody stumps. It should be “National Accordion Awareness Day”, or hour. Minute, even.
More closely in keeping with the character of a great nation, I propose July be proclaimed **Arrogance Month. **
It’s not National Play The Accordion Month, it’s Accordion Awareness. People need to be aware that thing will turn your hands into bloody stumps.
