Except its been an "Irish thing" for about 200 years, Douchebag

I wonder if he'll start more thread about the pride parade than he did the AVN awards.

Back in the wild and sexually explorative days of the mid-'90s, my male roommate and I were moving 2 girls we knew from just west of Halsted to a new apartment just east of Halsted. The only time they could do it was literally about a 2-hour window late on a Sunday. We agreed. As we approached, we soon discovered that this was just after the Gay Pride Parade. It was quite bustling.

So, my roommate and I, let's call him - Mustachioed Bruce - load up the van and he and I would walk the 3 blocks across Halsted to unload...the van...while the girls would drive it over. He and I would then get in the van and ride back. We did this about 6 times. So, to the patio parties that were going on, it certainly appeared that he and I were just circling the block over and over again. After about the 3rd time, the guys were calling us to come on in as we were getting exceedingly sweaty. It was one of the hottest days of the year...weather-wise...and we were moving from one 3rd story apartment to another 3rd story.

By the 5th time past the place, when the calls to come have a beer were getting quite boisterous and it was apparent that we were just playing with them as we continued to walk by every 30 minutes or so, I was hot enough to take them up on it...the beer. In truth, I was pretty much ready to go gay for a beer at that point. But, Mustachioed Bruce wasn't up for meeting any new friends that day and we just kept walking.

[/JORR] Freddy Mercury was at that party. Any of you around at that time, would know who I'm talking about. [/JORR]

So if I am reading between the lines correctly.... Dr Ken used to live in Boystown with his mustachioed, jealous lover named Bruce. Bruce never let him have a beer with any other gays, so he dumped him and went straight.

There needs to be a Jim Grey Pride parade.

A parade where people just walk around asking others stupid questions.....I'd fit in perfect, along with Beardown.

Long story short, then you had a good time at the Pride Parade.

Posted before, but one year I was situated on Diversey at Clark, where the parade technically ended, but at the point at which the politicians kicked off the event, headining down to the lake.

And riding in the coonvertible Cadillac, never to miss a media chance, Dick Durbin, of which the crowd chanted WE WANT DICK! WE WANT DICK! WE WANT DICK! While some guys zipped around Durbin on roller blades, fur jock straps, whistles and small pride flags.

We went to Disney World and just happened to be there during gay week. It was awesome. The lines were smaller and as long as you didn't wear red you were in good shape.

Serious question:

Has anybody that has attended The Gay Pride Parade ever been hit on by someone of the same sex? And how would you handle that? Not that there's anything wrong with it......

"Cowabunga? Cowa fucking piece of dog shit! This game is diarrhea coming out of my dick!"

Yes, I was hit on my same sex and was and remain not interested. Lived in the area for a long time. Getting hit on is no big deal. Lots of gay and straight people just having a good time in the area. I would wear the not interested face and say I'm not gay, but Halsted is that way if you are looking for someone. Or some such thing.

The only time I got kind of pissed was when a smallish muscular man who did not act or appear ghey asked if I wanted a blow job. He said it with a sneer and quite menacingly. Only time someone had been that forward. I believe the guy was actually looking to gain a homosexual's confidence, beat him up and take his money. It was quite strange.

I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't be hit on. I'm "Not Their Type" for most of them, thank God. Makes it convenient to not have to shave or look nice to go to something like that. Although, from what I've heard, there are several heterosexual women that go to this for some reason.

You would be surprised. Most are pretty normal, not regularly outgoing people, looking for like minded partners. Haven't run into many aspiring sports talkers, but I am sure they are out there.

Nice catch!

DePaul years...playing 4 on 4 hoops, one of the many SW Side guys I met in college is splitting up the teams...

You, Me, Tony and PJ v Chris, Bobby, Ray and The Coon.

Everyone walks to their ends of the court and I am standing center court looking around like.,...holy shit! Nobody else had a problem with it...including the brother!

Play on! I Guess...you tell me

Wow. Did they know the black dude? Were they friends with him?

He wasn't black. He just always wore a funny cap.

Nope. As I became friendly with them, went to a few of their houses around 75th and Cicero, you can tell me all you want about racism being dead, but the message didnt get to that side of town. Or Maybe I was just invited into all the homes of the people who didnt get the message.

I work with people who remind every day that racism isn't dead.
