Open Forum: What Does Pride Mean to You?

Happy Pride Month everyone!!!

June traditionally kicks off PRIDE celebrations throughout the world! I figured this is a good opportunity to ask What Does PRIDE mean to you? How do you choose to live your life out and proud, or do you? Will you be attending a parade, a fundraiser, a rally of some sort? What are your thoughts on what PRIDE is about, what it should be, and how the media covers it?

This is what PRIDE means to me. I took this photo at the Atlanta PRIDE 2006.

That's wonderful to hear Diane! Congratulations! Not to be a downer but it makes me so fucking mad that Britney Spears can have a 24 hour marriage recognized and you and your partner of 29 years get nothing in most of the world.

To me PRIDE means standing up for what I believe in and being public on the streets and demanding equal rights.
