We Are Family!!! Celebrate Gay Pride Month!
As u all know this june is coming to a close, and u have been hearing ALOT of news about the gay rights coming out and mostly people celbrating our pride and our rights, as far as im concern we should be happy with who we choose to borrow the song with garth brooks lyrics We Shall be free it pretty much simplfies who we belive in and thats our happiness.
IF we re free to love anyone we choose when this world worship our own kind of pew then WE SHALL BE FREE garth never intended to sing such a song but he has a lesbain sister betty smittle who left the band to join up with the HEARTS back up singing and then more and more poeple cropping up saying thier out and proud I belive that we can be free cuz we are proud of our pride also this marks the 25th anniversary of the PRIDE FLAG and as u can see i have waved my flag today in honor of our PRIDE. So come on and say WE RE PROUD TO BE A PRIDE FAMILY IM OUT AND PROUD!!!!!!!!! |

 http://aol.planetout.com/pno/news/hi...ristopher.html Christopher Street Gay Liberation Day: 1970 by Susan Stryker, Director, GLBT Historical Society Also on PlanetOut: Pride coverage Queer History Must-have rainbow gear Interact: Talk about it In case you haven't had your fill of Gay Pride festivities yet this summer, here's a photo from the very first Pride parade in New York, on the first anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising. While the riots at the Stonewall Inn on Greenwich Village's Christopher Street seem carved in stone as the birth of the gay liberation movement, the event might not be remembered in quite the same way had it not been for the commemorative march and rally organized a year later. The riots in 1969 certainly gained a great deal of media attention, and represented a turning point in the history of gay militancy in New York. But without the Christopher Street Liberation Day Committee, "Stonewall" probably wouldn't be any better known than the "Annual Reminder" demonstrations held yearly on the Fourth of July outside Independence Hall. Never heard of them? For five years, between 1965 and 1969, activists from throughout the country gathered outside Independence Hall, where the U.S. Constitution was drafted and signed, to remind the nation that not all of its citizens had equal rights under the law. The Annual Reminders were important events in the history of the gay rights struggle, but outside the gay community of Philadelphia they are largely forgotten. Stonewall could have experienced the same fate. Instead, young militants, whose media savvy and organizing skills had been honed during the social justice movements of the mid-1960s, decided to capitalize on the spirited resistance at the Stonewall and turn that event into a rallying point for a national movement. Almost immediately after the riots they started planning for the first anniversary march. Thousands of people turned out that first year in New York and in other cities across the nation. Now, thirty years later, Gay Pride festivities draw millions of participants to events around the world. The photo shown here is from "Gay Freedom '70," a commemorative pictorial essay published by the editors of QQ magazine, an early gay liberation title (formerly known as Queens Quarterly.) |

I went to SF gay pride with my friend today and it was interesting experience for him. LOL Anyway, I heard the music and annoucement. Approximately 107 people got "promise" marriage recognized by City Hall of SF. Some gays, some lesbians, some transgender people, and some drag queens got married and shared their celebration with the public. They were on the media. WOW. Of course, I noticed a few of cute butches in tuxedos (one in purple tuxedo and other one with black tuxedo with light blue vest to match her ICE BLUE eyes). Damn, she is damn cute butch with short hair. Anyway, ahem, guess what? My thighs got sunburn (my face has pink sunburn). My friend is mini lobster. LOL Well, SF weather was nice, now changed into cold and foggy completely once we returned back home. DAMN.
Anyway, I had a blast time. I will go there again tomorrow for BIG ONE. PS. I saw a guy wearing a light blue tshirt saying "STAR FUCKER". LOL Last edited by Oddball; 06-29-2003 at 03:05 AM. |

Heyyyyyyy, I wish I was in New York City today for the Gay Pride Parade, but after being to Six Flags all day yesterday, walking all day long, standing in lines and getting soaked wet from water rides, etc... and not enough sleep, I m going to have to make this a lazy Sunday for me! Too bad I can't make a rainbow cake at home! LOL
HAPPY GAY PRIDE WEEK to my fellow gay and straight friends here @ AD2! |

Mmmmm....made me go down Memory Lane just now...remembering my time of living in Los Angeles back in the early '90's. Back then, I was one mixed up girl at the age of 19 to 21...wasn't sure of my sexuality. I liked both sexes!
 Pss...still do today, I like to flirt and talk up with girls although I'm married to a bloke!  Cheers, Goldie

as u all know june 30th is nearing us for the east coast as it already has for the aussies and around the world, I took some time to think about the gay issues and relized one thing...
a comment was made to me abt why do u want to embarrass urself announcing how proud u are of your homosexuality. I got to thinking abt this person and this person's point was clearly in the wrong he hasn't see life like some of us has... my car was involved in a gay bashing and the guy that did it went to jail on two charges the at the time newly charged for hate crime, and vandalisim he only got at least from my understanding a 6 months county time or prison if i recalled right and now had a 5 yr probation/parole services to complete he has to go to anger management classes he also has to pay for the damages for my car which costed me close to 3k but i know i ll never see one red cent for that but thats ok the point is its not abt being charged for something he did wrong its abt the ingorancy. there are too many poeple in today's soceity who automatically judge by the sexuality saying *eww* or just basically thinking we're doing this cuz we were raped or we were just running away from the reality of the society. it's not about that. its how we feel inside of ourselves and consider ourselves some poeple will take up to 15 yrs before they come out of the closet whilist some just come out after thier absoultely shure of themselves. i know i came out at such an odd way but i was glad i did and the weight of my shoulder was gone, i felt good about that and having support from families and all my friends thats a very good thing to have. all we just have to understand is we all want to be happy with life, it doesn't truly matter if there was a homophobic person who just is plain ingorant or has a reglious belif, i was taught to say this, if we cant say anything nice to other poeple it's best not to say anytihng at all but say one thing all u have to say is i disagree with ur lifestyle but i respect u thats all u can say and leave them to thier lives, thats a show of good sportsmanship to the fellow poeple across the nation. may there be peace within the gays and lesbains society who work along side the hetrosexual poeple WE ALL LOVE U JUST FOR U! |
