I'm not gay but have been told this by gays who lived through that era and who survived it and are still alive.

Some, including my brother, did not survive those years. So little was known about AIDS. It's hard to remember how bad it was in those days.

Yup. My uncle, who lived in West Hollywood was going to multiple funerals a week as friends died of AIDS. He was part of the first AZT trials & finally died (from AIDS complications) in the mid-90s.

Love Pride, marching with my kids today with our school, would love some glitter!

But who cares since your shitty attitude won't make anyone miss you at the parade anyway!

Speaking of the 1970s, I would say from the 1970s up to the mid 1980s was the real pride festival.

The one worth going to.

The 2016 gentrified version of pride sucks.

In the 90s, it was about activism. These days, it's more about which corporations love gay money.

And all the DC politicians looking for votes. Speaking of which, I got a green bead necklace from the Fenty pride contingent a couple years ago that dyed my neck green for days.

You don't have time to put on a hat but you have time to navigate DC on pride day?

I guess it shows that we're all really different people. I'm just looking for a bonafide reason to have glitter in my hair, considering how much I have to "adult" all the time these days.

I really do not feel like pulling it up.

I don't think I am going. Too much of a hassle.

Good lord you sound high maintenance. Who cares how long your hair is, you can't be bothered to wear it up for an hour or two?

This. I go to pride every year and have never had this happened. But given that it is going to be 100 degrees today, I have no idea why you want to have long, sweaty hair on your neck.

The pride parade has enough sanctioned divas. They don't need sideline dramatics.

Cut off that nasty hair and then wash the glitter out. Duh.

Sun hat!

Yeah, seriously. I WISH someone would toss some glitter.

No, seriously, even Jesus can't save you from glitter. Wear a hat.

This post made me day.
