40 Million Gay Dollars
I couldn’t dream of topping the title to Todd’s post, so I instead cited how much Vancouver’s Pride weekend is worth to the city. He makes a number of recommendations that could improve the parade:
Pride is here, it’s queer and everyone has a great time. There are no protesters, no throngs of religious nutjobs yelling that we’re taking society to hell in a stylish handbag by getting married. These are good things. But I think it’s time for Pride to grow up a bit and to take its place among the other great evening celebrations that Vancouver offers.
He also took a big bunch o’ photos. This one reminded me of that episode of the Simpsons where Homer wants Bart to be all manly, and takes him to a steelwork factory. Once the whistle blows, though, the place turns into a big disco.
