Does your town have a gay pride parade?

Yep--draws about a million people each year!

 

Yeah, Atlanta has one of the largest ones in the country .

 

My town does not, but Columbus (which is about 30 min. away from my hometown) does.

 

There was supposed to be the first ever (?) one this year, but I never heard anything about it, so if it ever did happen it was really small I guess.

 

No. I'm not even aware of any events like that occurring in Florida in general. Though, to be honest, I don't really follow any major events or any nature, except anime cons that will have my favorite voice actors/guests.

 

Probably not. It's not really a very big town.

 

My town is too small to. It is only 13,000 people, but Youngstown which is about 5/10 minutes away does, though I have not been to it yet.

 

Atlanta has a huge one, but I've never been to it, and I don't live there anymore. I miss Atlanta... :tears:

Oh god, that's ANOTHER thing I miss. The ATL always has the best anime-cons! *more crying* :tears:

 

My new city does! Or at least, has some kind of gay festival that could be considered like a pride, I guess. It's a festival that lasts for 4 days at which there are some shows, LGBT personalities and other stuff. I haven't had the chance to see it yet but it's at the end of August and I'll definitely check it out!

 

Definitely not. I live in a tiny little fishing port on the US northwestern coast. We don't have many tourists compared to big cities. Most of the people who live here are racist, homophobic, gun-toting, redneck bigots.

 

I don't know, but I seriously doubt it. My hometown is very religion-oriented, and while most people aren't strongly opposed to LGBT+ people, not very many actively support them.
Could be worse, I suppose.

 

Not my 83,000 person town specifically, but it's only about 45 minutes away from the big city of Houston, TX that has a pretty big pride parade.

 

No...

... but they still have an annual American Civil War reenactment.

Priorities. My town's got 'em.

 

No, but my state has a fuck-ton of them.
Would I go again? Fuck-no.

 

I think Birmingham does but my little town is too small and old fashioned

 

Belmont is PACKED at the end of June, and cops are EVERYWHERE. They actually do their job on that day, too, believe it or not. I was shocked to see them actually doing something about a problem, and arresting a hater for dressing up stereotypically gay and then using that to sexually molest women.

 

Every year, first Sunday of August.

 

No. The city 20mins away from me does, though.

 

Nope, none in my town, county, region or anywhere close really.

Not that I'm fussed, I've never felt that I "need" pride. Its a celebration for people to go and have some fun if they want and if it is their cup of tea, but it doesn't really impact my life in anyway or have any relevance to me.

And to be honest, the locals are a bad enough sight fully clothed, the last thing I want is them stripping off into skimpy rainbow underwear!
