Pride Parade 2011

Sunday, June 26th, 2011

 Pride was pretty much business as usual, with a little more celebration and high spirits that before. To be honest, other than the parade today, I haven’t done much for Pride this summer. Not enough time, not enough money, and it seems like my friends have pretty divergent interests that don’t lead to group outings [...]

So, Pride…

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

Pride in New York was a lot like Pride in all the other cities I’ve been to, except that I wasn’t really in charge of anything. I still spent a lot of time working, though, as I was representing Lambda at several events. Anyway, got to see a bunch of friends, meet new people, and [...]

Cincinnati Pride Post-Mortem

Monday, June 15th, 2009

Because it’s June, it’s time for some well-meaning person to get some national queer media attention for writing that maybe its time to tone down and tame our Pride celebrations. This year it’s Cord Jefferson, a blogging generation member of the talking head class and rumored heterosexual. He writes: The annual marches ultimately accomplish two [...]

Photos from the parade and festival. The full Flickr set from both days. My thoughts later (maybe).

Round Up from Cincinnati Pride Day 1

Saturday, June 13th, 2009

Today was the first day of Cincinnati Pride. I’ll keep most of my comments to myself for now. Enjoy the pictures. Parade and day 2 tomorrow.

The Mormon-Grinch Video

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

Since everyone and their 3rd sister-wife is sending me this today… More Gay & Lesbian Videos At LogoOnline.com You know, I actually find the outdated stereotypes about Mormon polygamy so distracting, I can’t really enjoy the video. Polygamy simply isn’t a part of most Mormons’ lives, and hasn’t been for a century. If the point [...]

Sneezin’ With Pride?

Monday, April 27th, 2009

Not to reopen an ugly can of worms, but does anyone else think Cincinnati Pride is going to be pretty embarrassed if this swine flu emergency does spiral into a deadly, widespread pandemic? Of course, if millions are dying from the flu, I suppose an embarrassing pride theme is low on the list of problems [...]

Cincy Pride Logo, Part II

Wednesday, March 11th, 2009

Yesterday I presented the new logo for Cincinnati Pride without saying anything especially critical in the blog post. I was more interested in getting other people’s reactions. When I first heard the Pride theme (after returning home from my October visit to NYC which caused me to miss the Pride meeting where it was chosen), [...]

Cincy Pride Logo

Tuesday, March 10th, 2009

This is the theme and logo for Cincinnati’s LGBT Pride celebration this summer. *blinks* You know, in light of the recent international attention paid to one Utah State Senator Chris Buttars’s comment that gays engage in “pig sex” (not to mention the negative reaction local bloggers have had to the theme), I hoped that someone [...]

Quote of the Day

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

Wow, that was shocking. I never would have guessed. This is the biggest surprise since Liberace. Middle America must be beside itself with people whispering in diners, “If Clay can be gay, it can happen to anyone.” Congratulations, Mr. Aiken! All kidding aside, we love you at this page. Welcome out! -Wayne Besen, Truth Wins [...]
