    We skipped Pride again this year, left the city entirely in fact. I feel a twinge of guilt, then remember how tacky and overpriced so much of it has become, how reliant it is on fair-weather corporations, and how little of it is even for gays now.

    And it never needed to be a month long.

    • What are your thoughts on the evolution of the pride flag? I hate it. I went on quite a drunken rant about it last w'end. The original worked so well.Nairn
    • It's not an evolution, it's a hostile takeover that began the moment American gays could marryi_monk

    • Very little is for gays now? Because being homosexual is simply too basic now?jagara
    • The minute US gays could marry, the spicy straights swooped in.i_monk
    • "Spicy straights". Good expression :)jagara
    • "It's not an evolution, it's a hostile takeover" Yes! In fact, it reminds me of the red wedge meme from Russian revolutionary days - inherently destructiveNairn

    • The original was perfect and could, without change, have evolved by its meaning and interpretation to include everyone and anyone ultimately.Nairn
