Good thing I caught this one before GLBT Pride Month came to a close: the Gay 10 Commandments. Among them, “Thou shall participate in the political process” and “Thou shall learn and understand Gay History.”

Search for just about any LGBT-related term in Google, and you’ll see a set of rainbow stripes (link via gooster) dividing the regular search results from the paid ones. Note that your browser window has to be wide enough for them to show up; in this case, the window pictured above is 935 pixels wide when viewed at full resolution.
And if you think the image above is doctored, why don’t you go see for yourself?

As part of its Pride Week coverage, New York City cable news outlet NY1 offers up a piece on the Bronx Academy of Arts and Dance (BAAD), a gay-owned and operated performance space. BAAD is located in Hunts Point, a South Bronx neighborhood typically associated with hookers more than with New York’s gay scene.

Pride season fast approaching. InterPride offers a list of pride events around the world. I imagine there are probably more lists of this nature online; this just happens to be the first I saw.

Capital Pride takes place this weekend in D.C.,
and for the first time in at least a couple of years, I likely won’t be able to attend any of the festivities. (Work and other obligations take priority.)and it turns out I may be able to catch a little of the festivities after all — but no promises.The pride parade — which I’ve never been to — winds its way from the corner of P and 23rd streets NW to Thomas Circle starting at 6:30 tomorrow night. The festival takes place Sunday on Pennsylvania Avenue between 3rd and 7th streets NW from 11 to 6. Details on these and other Pride-related goings on are on Capital Pride’s website.
Also check out Joe’s essay on pride events, first published on his site a couple of years ago. It gave me some food for thought regarding the public face of pride events.
