Happy Pride
June 19, 2005
Thirty years ago, twenty people gathered around the most phallic symbol in Baltimore, the Washington monument, for merry-making and, well, I don’t know. There’s not much written about the first Baltimore Pride. I’m sure it involved assless chaps. This year they’ve graduated to a 30,000-people-strong block party with Ru Paul as the headliner. They’ve moved up the street a few blocks from Baltimore’s biggest phallus, but I think it’s a pretty good trade-off. So to all the godless homosexuals in Baltimore: happy Pride!

You are fabulous; I promise I shan’t mess with you.
i was there with the whole fam damley for the parade, giving breeder props. a good time was had by all.
I think that new scultpure in front of Penn Station now eclipses the Washington Monument as Baltimore’s most phallic symbol.
