How about a really cool Citroen car commercial? Check out this dancing transformer.
big pride on display
Dear comrades, sorry I haven't blogged for a while. Things are getting a little crazy at work, preparing for a conference next week. In fact, I'm in the universidad right now on this hotter-than-lovely Sunday evening.
Anyway, big day today. Gay parade. The day homosecsewals walk around and display their pride for their secsewal diversity ... so ... basically it's like every other day except some of them are naked now. Yes, I'm talking full frontal.
I used to live in the middle of the action last year, in the 'village'. I've moved since then, and I'm not so much in the village core now. Although, when you're in the East side, there's really not much choice; it's either the ghetto, or the village ... or sometimes the ghetto village. I'm borderline.
Anyway, I didn't go to the parade this year. I've heard it's one of the bigger parades in North America, so it was a good photo-op, couldav gotten a lot of colorful shots. But it was kinda too hot, and sort of a 'been there, seen that' sort of thing (definitely haven't 'done that').
Of course it doesn't mean I didn't get a piece of the action. Somehow, the parade seemed to originate from right underneath my building. Or at least some of the contingents did. Or more correctly, the League of the Nasties did. Imagine a group of 60-year olds in leather garments that cover only the non-essentials. Bare-asses and everything. Displaying the goods, so to speak. I really wonder if the majority of gays themselves find that at all tasteful.
So, that's pretty much it. til later.
update: Speaking of gay, check this out. It's gotta be one of the best things I've ever seen.

Is this song for real??? It looks like an SNL sketch. :)

we were debating that with a bunch of friends, we concluded that it's for real ... some public service anouncement maybe ...
whatever it is, it's a gem.

Things have really changed for gays and lesbians since I was younger. When I was in High School, GL's were deep in the closet. In college, there were a few gay students that lived in my dorm. However, they were not exactly openly gay. I knew them, I thought they were probably gay, and it really didn't matter to me. They were very decent guys and we got along fine as friendly acquaintances. I don't know how long gay pride parades have been going on, I assume for years in some cities. But, they are relatively new to my awareness. I have recently started watching the show "The L Word". It is really a fascinating insight into the lives of lesbians. In one episode, all the characters went to the annual gay pride. I think it is a good thing that more GL's feel comfortable about being open or out. I am convinced that being straight, gay, or lesbian is not a choice. Rather, people are born that way. All people have a need to feel comfortable and accepted with regard to who they are.

Actually, something that never made any sense to me is why people fixate on whether being gay is genetically determined or a lifestyle choice. I don't see why it even makes a difference.
