I hope that the net is never inflicted with the sad sights that are the drag queens (and kings) of Christchurch.Besides, with the exception of the Service to the GLBT Community Award (won by the organizer of the local universities UniQ) and the Lifetime Achievement Award (won by our local gay MP who championed Civil Unions for both heterosexual and homosexual couples) I don't think that most of the people there know who won.
I mean who really cares that for once in her sad life Jessica Christ didn't win the Bitch of the Year Award? Not me.

And I thank your God and my Goddess that you are doing better Furls. I was going to get on here and complain about the past few days, but you know what? After reading your post, I just don't feel like complaining anymore.Well, made it thru another surgery and now on the mend
I just want to say that life, even tho it gets chaotic at times, is so glorious. There's a frost covering the world here on the Mountain. The pines are glistening in early morning sun and everything is so crisp and still. I ventured out, and walked a bit among them, and listened to nature's music. And I smiled and thanked God once again for the precious gifts He has given me.
I am doing well today. Blessed Be, all.

You mean there are people that actually want to go see a Gay Pride Parade?

The Gay Pride parade here in Toronto in the height of summer is one of the biggest 'gay' gatherings in North America! It's huge! And, for those with few 'hangups', its quite funny and entertaining. Those guys and gals just have a bunch a fun, and the floats get more bizzare every year...
I've been once, and was suitably entertained.
How I feel today, however, is 'crap'. Physically I am fine, but both my daughters are totally 'zonked out' with bad colds (possibly leading to a flu in one case). And I had to help my wife with a stuck peice of food last night! I did the Heimlick(spelling)... and it actually worked! (I have taken an emergency medical course, but never expectred to use it...) But my wife is at home with the two 'babies', her throat raw and sore and I'm here at work...
(gimme a hug everyone...

Good job, Usivius. Hope your daughters feel better!
Here's a hug, but it's a manly-man hug, like when your team just won the world series hug, or you find out your mother-in-law is moving out hug....

Funny story.
A friend of mine and I went to Toronto in July to see the Glasgow Rangers play an exhibition match. We checked into the hotel (the Ramada, quite nice) and noticed that there were an awful lot of guys there, but not a bunch of women. We walked up to one of the bars on Younge Street, and passed a place called "Zippers". I wondered to myself if it was a biker bar (since I own a Harley).
The next morning I was leafing through the magazine they always leave on the nightstand in hotels, and discovered that Toronto has the 2nd highest gay population in North America (behind San Fran), and that Zippers was a leather bar.
Needless to say, we got a good laugh out of that. It certainly cleared up why all the hookers were asking us if we wanted to try something different.

I'm not surprised, here in Christchurch the Gay Oscars makes most of it's money from straight people. Apparently we know how to throw a good party.Usivius wrote:The Gay Pride parade here in Toronto in the height of summer is one of the biggest 'gay' gatherings in North America! It's huge!
