Boston’s Straight Pride Parade With Milo Yiannopoulos As Grand Marshall

Because having straight white privilege every single day of your life just isn’t enough. You need one more extra day to celebrate your straight privilege.

But according to this article, the really amusing part of this is that Milo Yiannopoulos will be the Grand Marshal. Yes. He will be the grand Marshall of the straight pride parade. You can’t make this up.

The apparently serious organizers of a “Straight Pride Parade” gathered for a press conference on Wednesday to announce they’d been given the green light by the city of Boston to move ahead with their event.

Here’s the link.  I hope they have fun. I couldn’t care less. 


The Old Gay West Side Cruising Piers In New York

I’m not old enough to remember this, but I have older gay friends who still talk about what it was like in New York back in the days when gay men would cruise the west side piers. Apparently, it was a huge destination for gay men. 

But there’s more to the piers than just sex. This is LGBT culture, and history. 

The piers also became a refuge for homeless LGBTQ youth. For years, they were one of the few places in the city they could go to hang out with others like themselves – and often their only available shelter.

Very good article and you can read it all, here.  This is the 4th in a series of excellent articles about gay culture in NYC. They deserve applause.
