i managed to drag my still-getting-over-this-damn-cold self to the gay pride parage yesterday cause honey
you have to support gay pride
and proudly waved and hooted along with la matrix
her pal d, planet of course and my good pal H from vancouver
pride this year had more of an agenda than it has in some past years
it was yes, we are here to celebrate our pride
but it was also
a definate
IT IS NOW TIME FOR EQUAL RIGHTS
lots of politicians in the parade
Chuck Schumer
Governor Patterson
and more
i'm sure there were hundreds of thousands out cheering
don't know the actual count
but it was and is a huge day
one of the hugest days nyc has
so here's what pissed me the hell off
i get home
and turn on the news to watch highlights of the parade
cause you know when NYC has a parade there are always highlights
and there was maybe a 35 second mention in the news
honey this parade took over half of manhattan
thousands and thousands in the street
in the parade
cheering the parade
our mayor
our governor
our senator marching in the parade
and 35 seconds?
what's wrong with this picture?
honey i was well past pissed off
to have the annual new york gay pride parade barely mentioned
on the 40th anniversary of the stonewall riots?!
in all of the new york news stations
what's wrong with this picture?
is it all about michael jackson?
okay yeah michael jackson stole a whole lot of the thunder
not to mention just about all of farrah fawcett's thunder
hey kids
farrah died too ya know!!
but i don't think this was just about michael
so much as some unified
bull shit
about not giving proper coverage to gay pride
what do you think?
