"We're up all night 'till the sun We're up all night to get some We're up all night for good fun We're up all night to get lucky"
It wasn't quite like the Prides I went to in the '80s and '90s - no mass orgies nor cruising-in-the-bushes opportunities. Dammit. Times have changed... Jx
I'll be supporting a LBGQT-owned bakery this weekend. They just opened and already the haters are spamming review sites like Yelp to make them look bad. A bunch of us neighbors heard what's happening and are coming out to support the bakery. We'll buy their pastries and write lots of great reviews and encourage our friends to go support them as well. We'll flood the system and take back the signal.
I did have a bit of a lie-in, it's true. The day was everything it should have been: well-attended, peaceful and with some powerful - and some perhaps controversial - messaging. We enjoyed it! Jx
"Lock-up" here is gay slang for "toilet cubicle" (usually in reference to people having sex therein), so your comment made me hoot! And no-one ended up in either variety as far as I am aware... Jx
Have a great time! Let us know what you wore! And I hope the weather is kind.

This wasn't a "dressing-up Pride" occasion so much as a political march - more of that later, no doubt - and thankfully the rain did hold off! Jx
DeleteHope you get lucky!

Have fun! I agree with Ms Scarlet and Mitzi!

Why on earth would people expend so much time and energy to pour their hate and bigotry on a bakery?! We live in a sick, sick world. Jx
DeleteSomeone said hate must be a hobby for these haters. Too bad they can't get a life and have better hobbies!
DeleteI'm a bit late - and you're probably still "recovering" in bed - but I hope it was fun and the message was received loud & clear.

DeleteOh bugger!
ReplyDeleteThat would seem to be the appropriate phrase for the weather/attendance/hopes
The rain held off, and there were thousands of people on the march, so I'd judge that to be a success! Jx
DeleteI hope you had a good time and are not reading this from some lock-up.
