Chicago pride

I'm thinking we should try to hit the Chicago pride parade if Emily will allow.
Any chi peeps want to hook up for this? Or give advice on how to get there/get situated etc? I'm checking the websites now.

They used to throw froot loops off the balcony by the Closet when I did Pride there. . .

Sorry I can't be more helpful, but when I went it was fun.

the the defeat of the anti-sodomy laws, it's going to be a HUGE party. i'm willing to bet there's going to be more people, and more boisterous attitudes (not to mention right-wing fucktards). i'm not sure if this is the year to take emily.....

Is it still on Halsted? Or did they move it?

I got teary when I saw the piece on SF Gate about the rainbow flag in the Castro coming down and the American flag going up. That's what this is about, people -- the rights of ALL Americans to enjoy ALL the benefits of citizenship.

I think we should start a Sex Toys For Scalia program and just jam (pun very much intended) his mailbox at the Supreme Court with buttplugs, dildos, and the like. "C'mon, Tony, you KNOW you want it!"
