Austin Pride
Just heard work is going to have a van/float in the parade. I'm angling for that Saturday off. I'll be on the van or working the booth if I do get the time. :LGBTQFlag:
|
I will be down on the town at oilcans/rain tonight with two lovely gayboys and a lovely and talented designated driver-ess - celebrating the long weekend. :)

If you haven't left yet, my gorgeous, darling stepson will be out. His name is KC and he's got reddish blond hair that spikes up and is about 6'3" and really thin. :) Go say hi to all the cute young boys until you meet him. :) |
Thanks Pup & Oiler.....what a lovely day!
I love it that my daughter has a gay bf......every girl needs one! They are so cute! Made me smile a bunch! (Sidebar: she has succumbed to the heinous fuckery that is Texas Allergy Hell!!!! Hello, Zyrtec!) |

QUEERBOMB! PARADE AND PARTY FRIDAY, JUNE 4TH at 8:30PM
I just got this in my email:
"QueerBomb is a flash Force assembly of LGBTQIA individuals within the community who have found the current strategy and structure of Austin Pride to be non-inclusive, capitalist, heteronormative, safe and unchallenging. QueerBomb has been assembled with boisterous urgency in organizing a counter 'Pride' procession that carries a strong Queer message to the streets of Downtown Austin reclaiming the radical, carnal and transgressive lineage of our ever changing community, while celebrating every facet and form of our people as a unique and vibrant whole." http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/object2/...474240_655.jpg --------------------------- Hello friends and lovers! if you have been waiting for austin pride to show some shamelessly beautiful, radically powerful, socially conscious and self-loving queerness, finally finally its happening. read on for info about the filth stained love train as it comes round. come out and show your colors, honor our truly radical gay heritage, and celebrate the communities we make and bridge together, of which we can really be so proud! this event IS NOT CORPORATE SPONSORED, it is NOT UN-corporate sponsored!, it is a HOMEGROWN DIY movement of celebratory, ready-to-make-it, pissed off and dancing gay bodies, and there will be no billboards or beer commercials as we take to the streets. read on, sweet homosexual, and come out with bells on: Your answer to a new celebration of pride in Austin : QUEERBOMB When: FRIDAY, JUNE 4TH at 8:30PM SHARP!!
