WeHo Pride: Soon to be 90% prouder?
Instead of just blowing the whole load in a weekend of parade festivities, a West Hollywood City Council task force is recommending that the community's gay pride celebration should be expanded into a month-long social and cultural event.
Flaggy.
Keeping with the suggestion, we think the entire month of June should simply be renamed June Likes Girls, So Get The F**k It Over It. While it may be wordy and a bit annoying for those who like to write out a month's name rather than use its numeric representation, we think it would drive our "We're Here, We're Queer" point home in ways far greater than any flag and float-filled parade could ever hope. So what do we think, world -- summer of '07 begins on June Likes Girls, So get the F**k Over It 21, 2007? We're thinking we're on to somethin'!
It's unclear if any other areas of the country will follow WeHo's lead and consider expanding their own pride festivities. However, we do here Gayless, Arkansas, just might lengthen their event so that it'll no longer just be held on When Pigs Fly, but also When Hell Freezes Over & the Twelfth of Never. Ah, the sweet tide of progress!
