I am so thrilled and excited and pumped to announce this...
Oxford Gay Pride ParadeThis Parade is for all members of the LGBTQ community and others who support not only our rights, but the civil rights of all human beings--better known as "Allies". This is an opportunity for us to display our Pride through a loving and peaceful march across campus.
Bring your fiercest pumps, beat your mugs (wear make-up), snatch your wigs, bring signs/posters, and get ready stomp like Naomi down the runway!
That's right, folks, Oxford is having their first ever gay pride parade!!! I couldn't be happier if I had planned it myself. The event is scheduled for Tuesday, April 7th between 4:30pm to 5:30pm. The parade will go through the Phi Delta gates at the corner of High and Campus, continue down the slant walk, and end at MacMillan Hall. It's a short route, but I have no doubt they have lots of stuff planned.
It's being organized by Spectrum and the gay grad group -- HAVEN. Check out the Facebook event page.
In other gay pride news, I might point this little bit out: I am officially killing the NKY Pride 2010 rumors until further notice. I just don't think it's happening, kids. This is how I imagine it went:
Person 1 at a meeting (P1): You know, we should do this in NKY.Person 2 at a meeting (P2): Yea, that'd be great!P1: But not this year.P2: Nah... but we could start planning for 2010.P1: YEA! What do you think about... (random details)Later, at a bar:
P1 (or 2): Guess what we're doing?Person three, a friend or acquaintance or potential trick
(P3): What?P1/2: We're planning gay pride for NKY in 2010.P3: OMG! What a great idea! I should tell people about this!
And so it goes. Usually my snoops have been able to dig up some dirt here and there, but nothing has come up, not even the most minor biscuit of information.
I am, thus, killing this as nothing unless you can prove otherwise.
Oh, and the new GLCC website launched. It's a lot easier to remember, this time around, rather than the five word address they used to have.
