I was just shocked at how little the visible gay community was represented in that parade. No bar floats, no party floats, and hardly any floats at all. The ones that there were were for the most part boring. The Polar Ice float was a whole bunch of gorgeous men with gorgeous bodies who looked like they'd rather be anywhere else but there. Most of the floats had people who looked bored and fed up...Quote:

I counted at least five people on floats who were sitting down looking irritated and smoking a cigarette.... on a float...in a parade. And good lord, people, the water guns are just plain irritating... I hate it when you've got some loser in the parade who thinks it's cool to super-soak the entire crowd, including people who obivously don't want to get soaked.
There was a club called "Gay Geeks" who really weren't kidding.
there was a bunch of people who were marching who didn't seem to have any affiliation at all... and looked like they had come out of the winners at College and Yonge and had gotten stuck in the parade.
There were so many people who didn't put any effort into their march in the parade at all... poorly constructed illegibly hand-written signs and bargain bin clothes.
Not like i don't wanna see the teachers from Durham Region in the parade, but holy shit... what a bunch of dullards... Why would I want to watch boring people in boring clothes who didn't seem like they'd wanna be there?
Next year, i think I'm gonna put out a call for gay guys who ride motorcycles. We'll put a big speaker in a convertable and blare Judas Priest songs about riding motorcycles, and then ride our bikes behind it. I figure that since every parade is lead by the Dykes on Bikes and men aren't allowed to ride with them (don't get me started on that or the Dyke March), the gay bikers can be the marker of the middle of the parade.
I think you're right, though, We've gotta get the polically correct crowd to go find another thing to make boring and take the parade back.. get more drag queens... more leather men, more bars, more fun. I mean, I had a great time laughing with my friends at all the ugly fat obese naked people, but who wants to watch that for three hours?
I've marched in Long Beach Pride and LA Pride this year and I'll tell ya, Long Beach was a lot more fun. I was with the leather groups, and in Long Beach people were cheering and whooping and hollering all along the parade route. In LA, it was all "to hell with you dorks, where's the hunky guys on the Altoid float???".
I'm serious, I live on the outskirts of Weho but it seems like if you're not a tanned and buffed Twinkieboy the people there won't give you a second glance. I guess that's why I usually hang out in Silverlake. Heh heh.
