June is LGBTQ+ and pride month.

Happy Pride month to everyone. Proud to be part of LGBTQ+ community.

 

What's a good why to find out about events, mostly looking for local

 

I'm wondering that myself. I believe this site will help find something all across the board?
Pride Finder - LGBTQ Pride Events Calendar

 

I've never been to one before. I would like to go at least once. Thing is only 3 people know about me in the real world. I have no shame. I just happened to be a private person in the real world and online.

 

Neither have I, only my current gf and several past gfs know, and of course the online guys I've met up with, I still want to live in the world of friends I have. But I want to experience being "out"

 

My wife knows. I came out to her 14 years later. I also want to live in a world with what little friends I have now. HIP knows. But yes. I want to experience it also.

 

The last Pride parade I attended (the last time I lived in a big, diverse, metropolitan area, before moving to the buckle of the Bible Belt in a community so White you have to wear sunglasses) was right after Obergefell v. Hodges; what a fun, beautiful, life-affirming celebration that was! Anyone who can should bless themselves with their participation.
Happy Pride month everyone!

Except that due to Covid - 19, many of the 'Pride' demonstrations and celebrations have, once again, been cancelled this year.

 

A lot of it are virtual.

 

I've been to parades in the '70s and 80s... New York City, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. Come to find out I don't like crowds, loud people, and being in the hot sun for more than 15 minutes. So I pass.

 

I'm the same way. I'll go at least once. Maybe not this year. But next year.

 

Same here. I want to go where no one knows me.

 

Sounds to me like that's defeating the whole purpose.

 

No. I'm more interested in meeting new people to add to my circle.

 

Just got my RSVP; we're having a Pride picnic at our local park, invitational and publicized by word-of-mouth only for safety's sake.
Looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones.

 

HOA told couple to take down Rainbow flag, so....



I think it's pretty; I'd leave the lights up all year.

 

Looks very nice. HOA can go fly a kite.

 

Anyone know what is going on in The Triangle/RDU area?
