Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.

Morality cannot be legislated, but behavior can be regulated. Judicial decrees may not change the heart, but they can restrain the heartless.

A right delayed is a right denied.

Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.

NYC Pride March

I am going down to New York City this Sunday to march in the Pride Parade. This is the 40th Anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising. I am going with some friends and we are taking the 8:32AM train from New Haven and arriving at Grand Central Station at 10:12. We will be marching with the "TG Fund on behalf of: Sons & Daughters of Sylvia Rivera (NTAC)" We were told to meet at E. 56th St. between 5th Ave. & Madison Ave. and we will be up near the front of the Parade in Section 1, Group 13.

This will be the first Pride parade that I have been in and I am looking forwarded to marching. It suppose to be in the upper 80's or the low 90's and humid...ugh. I hope to take plenty of photos to post next Monday. So stay tuned.

Yes, I've often wondered why you never marched in any Pride parades. Me? I'm a Pride parade nut! I loooove to march and be proud after all those years of suppression and shame and guilt.
I've done NYC Pride 3 or 4 times and It's definitely my mostest favorite!! It's a long, hot march, but the crowd is great!!! And it gets better and better the closer you get to Christopher Street. It's a wonderful high!!! You'll see!!!
