“They can’t help the way they are. If they tried to reject their gay needs, it would be just like when Lindsay Wagner’s body was rejecting her Ebonics. I have noticed that the men ones clean real good and make yummy cobbler. And they seem to love Dorothy Garland. I am very excited for the Running of the Gays this sunday, but I hope no one is too badly gored.”

My favorite response to the question, “What Do You Think of the Gays?” from the really refreshing, irreverant, and mixed set of essays for Gay Pride in The Stranger.
And that’s all I’ll bother to say about Gay Pride festivities, except this: yes it’s wonderful and uplifting and important that we still assert our inclusion in society and blah, blah, blah, but I still hate too much disco and crowds and carefully marketed sponsorship and muscleboy narcissism so I’ll pass and keep doing it my own way each and every day, thanks.
