staying in for pride
this weekend is the gay pride celebration here in new york. usually, i’m like the first of my friends in line to organize our little group’s participation in the festivities. this year, i’m just not into it. it’s almost as if i’d just rather not be gay this year… i’m just kind of over it.
every year you see the same thing- the drag queens, the hot shirtless men, the flamboyant youngsters- and this year i just feel extremely detached. i’m proud to be gay, and understand the importance of the parade (especially this year now that gay marriage is legal in california), but i’d just rather stay at home and work than be in the city watching the parade and joining in on the party.
i have a few projects that are really starting to take form, and the excitement is almost 10 times as intense as attending the parade would be. i just want to keep working to make some of my dreams come true. that’s pride, right?
so i’m staying in this year. to those of you heading out to party this weekend, have a great time, and happy pride!!
