Gay Pride Parades

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

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

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

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

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!
