Yes, really, I am. It’s the first annual Philadelphia Liberty Stampede. Never been to the rodeo before, gay or straight. Dunno what to expect. Mebbe I’ll find my Jack Twist. But I got my boots on, as well as my wranglers, stetson & big belt buckle, and it’s time to giddeeyup! I’ll let you know how it went on Monday.
See ya’ll when I see ya, suges!
Good news is that from now on you can say, “This isn’t my first gay rodeo.”
It’s pretty much like any rodeo 'cept they like to put drag on goats/calves.
:mad: 
:rolleyes: 
:eek:
WTF is a gay rodeo? How does this work? Are the barrel racers guys or lesbians? Us regular ol’ cowboys never heard of such a thing, and I for one am a little more than passin’ curious.
Oo, I’m jealous! One of these days, I’m gonna get me to a gay rodeo. Pity they don’t come by Boston very often.
And I thought the Gay Bingo in Philly was as cool as it got!

Pretty much the same as a non-gay rodeo: The animals win.
The bronco busters and bull riders will get stomped. The guys working chutes will get stepped on. The arena crew gets dirty. The clowns get chased.
The last one I was at, the barrel racers were a mix of guys and gals.
The main difference is, at a straight rodeo they say “ride that sucker”… 
I always thought the main difference was the whole chaps without pants thing.
This thread reminds of a joke I once heard about why cowboys have their names tooled on the their belts. Of course the last time I heard it somebody almost got knocked out. It’s nice to be among people who don’t cast dispersions about others values so freely.

snork Nice!
But yeah, a gay rodeo sounds pretty cool.
Just be sure to take a saddle. You don’t won’t the excitement of the moment to persuade you to ride bareback.
Gay Bingo?!
That’s Fab-u-lous!
Alrighty then, how many other Gay-events are there out there that I’ve never heard of?

You may or may not know of the Gay Games.
Oh, now I want to go. I once went to a lesbian poetry night but it was terribly dull and bleak.
Now a rodeo sounds like no end of fun, wish I lived nearby.

I believe it was on this very board that I heard of a lesbian petting zoo. My mind has not yet ceased boggling.
Ooh, you’ll have a blast! The Atlantic Stampede here in DC is my favorite time of year. The rodeo itself is secondary, as far as I’m concerned, to the epic dances at the host hotel all weekend. Wall-to-wall cowboys – hundreds and hundreds of them, many from out of town 
. And the rodeo site itself has a dancing tent and beer stands, so relatively few people actually watch the rodeo. It’s a legitimate rodeo, but for many people (myself included) it’s just an excuse to meet hot cowboys.
A “gay rodeo” is also commonly known as a “rodeo”.

Wait, WHAT? 
I honestly wasn’t being an ass. You shared a reference to a joke about why cowboys have their names tooled on their belts, I thought it was funny in the way that Aggie jokes are funny.
What the hell? Where do you get off calling me an ass when you’re the one who shared the joke in the first place?
