We admit to having a little bit of a prejudice against the more conservative city to our south, but after a major gay bashing that occurred just after San Diego Pride in 2006, and after a man was shot by police during this year's festivities, Gay Pride in San Diego isn't at the top of our list of fave destinations. In fairness, the man was shot following an incident on a boat during a post-pride chartered dance-and-booze cruise, not during the parade itself. And it sounds like the man was both drunk (he had fallen/jumped off of the boat and had to be rescued) and resisting arrest (he took one of the officers' Tasers and was also, allegedly, reaching for his gun). Still, it's not the best PR for the city's gay life, and it still sounds like the cops might have fucked up here (the victim was, after all, some drunk fag who fell off a boat).

We know. You're tired. Your head hurts and you have some existential malaise to beat the band. Half the people we know in SF make it an annual tradition to schedule the Monday after Pride as a vacation day from work, but here in the sweet sweet flesh and culture mines GorgeousBoys we are hard at work pulling together our shameful documentation from this past (all together now) Big! Gay! Pride! weekend in San Francisco, New York (where it was stormy!), Chicago, Paris and elsewhere. We're starting off with some pictures taken for The Sword by SF photographer and Flickr legend Darwin Bell of the festivities in our favorite Left Coast city, and we shall roll out the rest of what we've got in the next 24 hours--there is more coming for New York, even more from SF, and we've got some stuff from Paris and Chicago too.
New York 38th Annual Heritage of Pride Parade
It turned into a rainy day, but these photos come c/o ScottBx on Flickr.
Less than a week out from the legalisation of gay marriage in California, close to 200,000 people are estimated to have turned out for the annual Los Angeles Pride parade at the weekend.
Colour, and lots of it, was the main theme of a lot of the costumes that were on display atop the pride parade’s many floats. Turning out for the parade were the usual smattering of drag queens and muscled guys in their tightest underwear. While there were some anti-gay and anti-gay-rights protestors in attendance, the parade took place largely without incident. The parade took place in West Hollywood, an area of Los Angeles with a large gay population. Sheriff’s Captain Buddy Goldman, who is in charge of the sheriff’s department’s West Hollywood station, told the Los Angeles Times that he thought there was “a renewed energy in the [gay] community about gay marriage. There really is an upbeat feeling.” Don't forget... GorgeousBoys will be front and centre at the gay pride events in New York City, Atlanta and San Francisco over this northern summer - so keep an eye out for our stalls!
Get out your beads and call your dealer: it has begun. Las Vegas already had theirs, like, two weeks ago and May 18th marked the beginning of the non-Nevada gay pride season, which starts in Long Beach and doesn't end until fucking November when Palm Springs has theirs. We swear we are proud, sometimes. And we know it's important for all you suburban and rural gays to strap on those Camel Baks full of vodka and descend on your nearest metropolis to drink and dance amongst throngs of your own for the first time since last year. We totally can't wait.
