Well, this Sunday is Gay Pride in Cincinnati...Woohoo! I will be going as usual and will have my large rainbow American flag wrapped around my waist. And since it will be both Independence Day and Gay Pride, the flag will work perfectly! Proud to be a Gay American!
Oh, how far we have come since the Gay Rights Movement during the 1970s! And how far we still have to go! But we'll get there...as an historian, I can tell you that time is just the best remedy for things. Put time with effort and we'll get there faster. ;-)
To celebrate GLBT pride, I usually have my own "gay" movie marathon in my room:
My Top Ten favs:
1. Imagine Me & You
2. Big Eden
3. Chutney Popcorn

5. Gray Matters
6. Lost & Delirious
7. Prick Up Your Ears
8. Un Amour A Taire
