Pride Weekend Wrap-up

Posted on Sunday 11 June 2006

I guess it pays to be a curmudgeon. The Herald took the theme of my post on gay marriage this weekend and ran with it for an article in today’s edition. Let me thank them for a piece that’s pretty decent, if concise, and for including the URL of this site, which is a courtesy one doesn’t always get. I do wonder about the wisdom of airing these internal debates as so much dirty laundry (”see! if gays can’t themselves agree on gay marriage, why should we bother?”) but for better and worse, not only is gay subculture losing some of its distinctiveness, its activities and discussions are more and more under public scrutiny anyway.

Meanwhile, I was busy with Pride events this weekend. I have to say that other than the lousy weather it was a good time. Jacques even had a stupendously good drag show, the likes of which I’ve not seen since my last trip to a Southern drag bar.
