Hello All, Yesterday was the MOST fun I've had in a Pride parade. My partner Gary Schiff, council member for the Ninth Ward, and I rode in a Mini Cooper. Gary waved, and I held and waved a sign.
As folks have pointed out on the list, the sign had a "tasteful" side and a less tasteful side. The tasteful side said "Thank You Supreme Court." When the crowd saw that side they cheered. The less tasteful side said, "Goodbye Strom Thurmond." When the crowd saw that side, they screamed loudly and cheered wildly! So, what exactly was it that Terrel Brown disliked, the sign or the audience reaction? By the way, you can see a photo of the tasteful side in the Pioneer Press on page b3 (not available online that I could find). The STRIB should hang its head for not running a photo of the parade or a story on the local festival. All they ran today was an AP story on festivals around the country. They ran gay stories all week, but apparently took Sunday off. Jim Berg Corcoran Neighborhood __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
