Happy Gay Pride


This weekend is the gay pride weekend in many major cities including Chicago. The Chicago Pride Fest started yesterday and goes on till today. It is a 2 day street fair similar to Market Days but smaller. And officially the Pride Fest is a gay event while the Market Days is just very gay. The Pride fest street fair is along Halsted Street from Addison to Grace.

Tomorrow is the 40th Gay Pride parade for Chicago. The parade starts at noon and can go on for 4-5 hours. The parade starts at Belmont and Halsted heading north then loops south at Grace up to Diversey then it heads east to the park. For more information on the parade, click HERE.

For those of you who are out and proud, this is a celebration for being proud of who you are. For those of you who are still in the closet, I hope you would join your fellow gay brothers and sisters in solidarity to end discrimination and oppression from those who do not understand us.
