Pride Weekend is wrapping up here in Minneapolis. I was running a few errands downtown today and I felt like kind of a slob compared to the numerous well-dressed gay men I passed on the streets. It was like being a trespasser at an Abercrombie & Fitch catalog shoot. I didn’t see the parade, although I really should go someday just for the experience. The trick is finding an appropriate person to accompany me. Do you realize I have about six male nurses and none of them are gay? What’s up with that? Clearly, my efforts to recruit a diverse staff have fallen short.
Oh man, I missed it! I’ve never gone and I wanted to this year, but didn’t hear about it. 🙁 Hope it was a success.
Hi Mark! Usually in the world of gay-dom, the snappily-dressed boys are balanced out by the not-so-fashion-forward gals. However, I have to say that things appear to be evening out, based on what I saw over the course of Pride weekend. Maybe the L-Word is having an impact on the lesbian aesthetic after all.
I’ll be happy to do the parade with you next year if you’re up for it. I promise not to dress to the 9’s. ; )
