I have to admit that as a closeted 21 year-old college student from the rural South, the whole ordeal churned up mixed feelings. On one hand, the atmosphere of acceptance was definitely unique and had a liberating effect. On the other hand, I was actively wrestling with my own inner demons and was unwilling to accept my similarities with "those" people. Little did I know that as I left the street fair at City Hall that day, with my goodie bag chocked full of free lube packets and flavored condoms, that I had taken one small but powerful step toward accepting my sexuality by attending my first Pride event. That day was five years ago and now I am eagerly anticipating my sequel Pride in Baltimore. Since then, many experiences have had a transformative effect on my life perspective and my acceptance of myself and my sexuality. I have come out to my family, I have expanded ties with the gay community, and I have made many friends in this charming city I've called home for the past year. I’m not convinced that Pride needs to be philosophized and it obviously means very different things to different people. But as I enjoy the events this weekend, I hope that the crazy combination of rainbow flags, unbridled self-expression, camaraderie, and ridiculous fun that we call Pride will have an impact on someone in the crowd the same way it did for me back on Market Street in San Francisco.

If everybody were tolerant and accepting of the LGBT community there would in reality be no need for pride other than to raise awareness of issues peripheral to the community. Still, any festival that promotes tolerance should be embraced - everybody, regardless of sexual orientation, should accept that! My favorite past time of pride is to sit outside and wait for the drag queens to trip as they walk between the Hippo and Grand Central. The combination of booze, heat and five-inch stilettos usually does them in.

Yes, I am that sappy guy that can take a min look around a pride celebration with a parade, drag queens, men in leather chaps, dykes on bikes, silly high heel races, and any other kind of GLBT craziness and then feel warm and fuzzy about it. It sounds silly but I feel lucky and proud of my community, we are not perfect, but we don’t make excuses for what and who we are. It a great weekend of being with friends and family knowing you can be out and yourself. Happy pride weekend everyone, enjoy yourselves.

For the most part it's about visability and unity with the queer community. However, Pride is also one hell of a good party. The best is that you people at pride who don't come out to gay spaces at any other time during the year. That's pretty important in my opinion. Sure it's a freakshow on some level...and I love that - dykes on bikes, boys on other boys, trannies on god knows what. But it's also an opportunity to see that mainstream people are queer too. This will be my 12th pride - I haven't actually seen the parade in years...because I'm usually in it. This year will be no different. ! Pride is a unique event for plenty of reasons.

I was the only married one and I caught a packet of condoms and a dental dam from the Methodist Church float. Simply. Awesome. But I took my bootie and split it with the girls. It isn't good to be so greedy. Besides, I got lots of candy too! And my picture with the hairy winged Mercury. My 1st Pride I went with some single girlfriends.
