Guess Who Went To Pride?! · 1:39am Jun 26th, 2016
Meeee!
I was having a normal boring day, when my friend said "PRIDE DAY DOWNTOWN! PLZ SOMEONE MEET ME THERE! I DON'T WANNA BE ALONE!". Me being the ultra-flamboyant gay friend, I hopped off of my couch, scrounged the couch for some quarters, ran to the bus stop, and excitedly went with him to Pride. There were many events happening downtown today, and hoo boy were we a bit lost! We walked all the way to the library and there was a car event. Near the bus station, there was a basketball event. But we were saved by my friend's cousin who took us there himself. He was one of the performers there too, which was really cool!
We got there to see, well, rainbows.
Lots and lots of rainbows.
There were a lot of vendors everywhere. I unfortunately wasn't really able to get anything. As I said, I was searching the couch for change. But, with the bit of extra change, I did get two cookies. Lemme tell ya, standing up for 6 hours, cheering and dancing, and only having one bottle of water and a couple cookies throughout the entire time? Well, I'm currently typing this with sore feet and an empty, crying stomach. If you're going to ANYTHING remotely close to pride that will take all day, I advise that you bring more than just $1.50 worth of pennies and nickels. You're going to be like me, walking around, wishing you could buy that T-shirt or those rainbow furry tails and ears (Oh god, the pain of not having those... it crushed me inside).
The performers were great, we had a couple of bands come to play, and the rest were mostly awesome flamboyant drag queens that danced and sang for us, along with a couple dance groups. The main host was the funniest person you'll ever meet. Near the beginning, He said "Give a shout if you're gay!" and the gays yelled. Then he said "Give a shout if you're straight!" and the straights yelled. He looked at one he asked "Hey, you're straight?" and when she nodded he said "Girl please, you can't even keep your hair straight!"
That was just the beginning. At the end, he said "Alright, I've got good news... and bad news. Here's the bad. Pride is now coming to an end. But the good news is, I saved 15% on car insurance when I switched to Geico!"
And there were funnier ones in between. Really, he was great the whole time. It was absolutely awesome!
Sadly, I left Pride single. But hey, there's always next year!
For those of you who don't accept gays, that's completely fine, I just ask that you don't cause too much of a ruckus. However, you're always free to post your opinion on the matter. I'm not that sensitive, and I am open to any and all opinions, because I know how important they are to everyone. But yeah, other than that, there was nothing special that happened today.
Time to work on that next chapter!
*Prepares to procrastinate*
And that money thing is why I never go anywhere. Seriously, I've only got a few pockets of pennies to my name. And any time I get money, it's off to Ebay, Gamestop, or some such to blow it on some games or dragon statues or what have you. The green stuff has the lifespan of an ice cube in the Sun around me.
Oh well, glad you had a blast out there! Especially with the comedian. Those guys are something else. I should know, dabbling in the jokester's arts and all.
You know my opinion on the matter pretty well, but for those of you who don't, a crash course.

That clear enough? Eh, maybe. Take as long as you need with that chapter. I've got stuff to work on in the meantime. Onwards and...! *passes out on keyboard*
4049273 But it was my first pride and my friend was there, there was no way i wasn't going, even if I had to walk downtown. I was poor, but DETERMINED!
Oh my god, He was so funny. he kept everyone laughing the whole time! You know, there was also a time where one trans performer did some video game/cartoon raps. When the Steven Universe one came up.... I just loved making my friend look at me all weird as I, along with a lot of other people in the crowd, was singing along to the theme song part. OH! And they had gave out some condoms, so I embarrassed my friend again by linking arms with him and frolicking with lube and a condom in my other hand. It was awesome!
That chapter... in the depths of my lazy brain... never to be seen in the light of day...
I'd get some of that stuff if I could, but I don't have much money either. I secretly spend money on games
(but I'm not sure if I count as completely gay because I'm bisexual)
4298700 If you, my friend, aren't straight, then you're one of us! And to be honest, there were some straight people there too. Everyone just had fun, that's all. You are who you are, and don't try to worry about who you 'fit in' with. You're an individual, and so you count as something! ^^

Look for me there when I go back to America :)
4299006 Haha, you don't wanna come back here. Our new president is Trump.
4299032
OH GAWD!!!!!
HE'S A FACSIST OR SOMETHING!!!!
At least for now I am dating a boy, but you never know when I'll be dating a girl instead...
And how did Trump even become president? I don't like Clinton but if she tries to pass any unfair law the Congress will stop her, but Trump will just destroy the congress...my heart is breaking...
4299037 I know. Clinton got the popular vote but Trump had more executive votes somehow. It's the end for America....
Let's hope he's not as dumb as he portrayed in his speeches.

Yeah...I don't know what to do now because Trump is so racist, and I just so happen to be of Chinese descent.
4299623 For him to ban you because of your race is unconstitutional, so he has very little power over that.

Hopefully what you're saying is true..
