Clearly, we complain far too much about our own parades
Yesterday, just a few hours before a pride parade was to begin in Jerusalem, an Orthodox man was arrested for possessing a homemade bomb. News to which this writer only needs to say:
"Oh, well you think that's bad, J'lem gays? Well here in NY, it's expected to be really hot for Sunday's parade. Oh, and the crowds are unbearable. Plus, don't even get me started about how the entertainment at the pier dance will surely be less-than-stellar. Ugh! Pride hardship, you are certainly no stranger."
Violent protests have been reported all over Jerusalem in connection with the pride events. Meanwhile, here in NYC, that violent foe known as walking will surely make my feet hurt.
So yea, we all suffer for our Pride!
