I can't put my finger on why I just don't want to be bothered but here are some thoughts. The trinkets and being a member of a trinket tribe does not interest me, the entertainment doesn't do anything for me, folks letting out hot air exp. politicians do nothing for me, speakers telling me all about how much they do for the community turn me off, here in Hartford the tight space of Pratt Street is a real turn off and the sound of the one clique cliquing turns me off, and I hate NYC since the powers that be cleaned it up and murdered its soul. Now that is just me.<br /><br />We do still need Pride if only to show the world do not mess with us, we have a large number of folks who are out in the streets. Show them our numbers. We still need PRIDE for the young to gather and have fun. One thing that has been missing and we need in these terrible times is more political speeches, more speeches that will tell the powers to be "DON"T MESS WITH US! <br /><br />I will never forget PRIDE 1973 when all of the straight gays, feminists, and lesbians booed Sylvia when she was up on the stage. Wrong road fools wrong road.

Being in full make-up, etc. I feel more anonymous and safe. I might not go and my male self.
