Which is why I just noticed that Kris Dresen has a Fair and Balanced account of The Big Gay Parade 2003, aka Chicago's Pride Parade. Well, it's more Fair and Balanced than mine, anyway. Plus, she has photos.
Which have triggered traumatic flashbacks for me, but hey, I say that about everything. . .
And I'm not sure Get Your War On 26 is ready for prime time, but it's there. Bits of it, anyway.
And I apologize for shamelessly ripping off Bellona Times, but the motto:
"I assume that of the 280 million people in the United States, there must be 150,000 who are concerned with the same things I am. I have no desire to convert. I don't like to preach, and I don't like being preached to. I like to believe that we are civilized people."That little laugh again. "But sometimes I have odd notions on what is and isn't civilized."
is really too good to pass up. It's from Samuel R. Delany, in SignOnSanDiego.com: Disturbing Delany still pushing literary limits, which also includes this bit:
He can without question be called the world's foremost gay African-American science-fiction writer. But there are those who would argue that "gay" and "African-American" could be struck without affecting the veracity of the statement.
I'm so not going near that one. This Fair and Balanced stuff is harder than it looks.
