Gay Pride Parades
 

Are they all on the same weekend? Is it like a tribute to the whole NY stonewall thing?

The Toronto parade is this Sunday.

Darn. I forgot to check the local gay pride calendar.

But they have been putting up banners on one of the major streets downtown.

Kansas City's was a couple of weeks ago... and Omaha's was last weekend.

The New York Gay Pride Parade is Sunday June 27th.

boston's was last week or the week before.

Honolulu had their LGBT Festival and parade last weekend.

Does anyone know why it's all around now? Chicago and Tel Aviv are having theirs this weekend.

Are you going down Boystown? I should find out when DC's is...

ETA: I missed it, it was the 12th :(

Yes. I have my own float.

The summer is "Pride Season" in general......Stonewall happened in the summer....I think it's just a coincidence.

I've never had the chance to go to the parade and I'll miss it this year too. :(

The actual parade in Vancouver is August 1st, but there is a tonne of other actvities going on surrounding the parade...

There's a Straight-Pride parade coming up in my town. We're all gonna go around and raise awareness about being heterosexual. We're just so proud to be straight.

We're here, we're straight, get used to it!

You sound very satisfied with yourself.
