They'd rather cancel it than hold it in the location it's been in for YEARS?

Whatever.

This is not the Gay Pride MARCH.

This is the dumb street fair that's turned into a street fair just like any other street fair.

But, no, Gay pride is NOT canceled.

According to that article gay pride hasn't been cancelled. Just that cramped, overcrowded street fair filled with grilled meat vendors in the West Village. The parade and all the other festivities are still on.

PJ is correct... the city street fairs are all the same and this one is only slightly different(it has some Gay orgs setup with booths). The one good thing about that street fair is I can stock up on a years supply of .... well supplies.

Come to the queens parade. We have the same street fair a few weeks earlier.

ps

Logo is still on?

I'm actually glad they cancelled it instead of settling for that cramped space on Washington St again. I only went to the festival down there once and it was not enjoyable, just because it's so crowded you can hardly move.

At the link I'm posting below they have info on what they planned for the Chelsea location and it sounds really nice. Hopefully they'll be able to get the permit for next year if they can't get it this year. Stupid city.

I drink, but not that much. The Raven had him appearing on Sunday on their website just two days ago. I think Terrance is ****ing with me. Now I won't be able to see my Reichy ... I'll be with a bunch of midgets in NYC on Saturday.

>>has pride run its course? do people care?

I have never understood the "pride" part, but the parade has obviously lost it's focus. One would hope the parade would be a time to unite, educate and empower it’s oppressed group but I’ve never seen that happen. Political candidates like Hillary and Bloomberg show up, but do very little afterwards in way of policy change. I think we need a movement now more than ever, but this parade does very little if anything for progress. It is nice to see new parades pop-up in Middle America and places where change needs to happen.

mom drinks so she'll never even know if i'm there or not. besides the place isn't the same since they removed the dirt and grime.
