HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!!!

[marym625]

I'm actually bisexual but when I am with a woman, Jenna's song is exactly how I feel. Besides, it's just too happy and cute! Gay, you might say

HAPPY PRIDE!

1. First K&R!

[marym625]

2. Thank you!

This is my favorite month. So much pride!

The Chicago Pride parade had over a million people last year. They tried to move it downtown because of that but it's staying in boystown! YAY!

But thanks

[Behind the Aegis]

12. back to page one...again...

(it means when I came across the OP it was on page two the first time; this time page three, so by responding I am sending it back to the first page of GD)

[marym625]

13. Oh! DERP!

Thank you!

Just love June! The Pride parade in Chicago is the best!

[Behind the Aegis]

14. I think this year we may try to get to Tulsa's, but I am not sure.

It can get so damn hot and we are old now. LOL!

ETA: My fave pride parade is Atlanta!

[marym625]

15. There's isn't in June, oddly

You should check out Chicago..I'm old. I still go

[Behind the Aegis]

18. I thought you were talking about Tulsa...I just checked...it's THIS weekend! Yikes!

I then realized you were talking about Atlanta. It has been a LONG time, because it used to be in June! I'd love to go to Chicago's parade. I really want to go to an international one, except maybe Israel's because my husband has a thing for Jewish dudes....I could lose him! LOL! Actually, Israel, the UK, Australia, Italy, and one I can't think of right now are all the places I'd like to go during pride.

I love my brothers and sisters who are LBGT!

K and R

[marym625]

27. Thanks, bigwillq

[bigwillq]

28. I love Tony Kushner

[marym625]

31. I have watched Angels in America at least 4 times

And I can watch it again and again and again.

[lovemydog]

34. I've never seen the movie version

but intend to see it some time.

[marym625]

35. It's fabulous

It was actually a series on HBO. I think it is 6 hours in total

Definitely worth watching

[lovemydog]

37. Thanks. I've heard about it and

will check it out. The play blew my mind.

[marym625]

39. wish I could have seen it

Let me know how you think the two compare.


Com cast has it for free. At least they did a few months ago

[lovemydog]

33. Oh, me too. I saw Angels in America as a play

in NYC. It blew my mind. I just looked him up on wiki and learned that he co-wrote the screenplay for Munich and wrote the screenplay for Lincoln - two great movies.

[marym625]

36. He is awesome

I still have to see Lincoln

[lovemydog]

38. I've watched Lincoln twice.

It's so well-written!

[marym625]

40. I need to get it. Hopefully it will be on something for free

[lovemydog]

43. Yeah, I was talking about that the other day

with some friends. I really wish movies like Lincoln, Malcolm X, Selma, historical biographies of such great importance and great documentaries and great stuff like Angels in America were available across every platform and stream for free. I anyone from any companies like Amazon or Netflix or any distribution companies are reading here, please consider finding a way to make this happen. We all benefit greatly from learning history, especially when it's done in a very entertaining manner.

[marym625]

44. There is one site

That has quite a few great documentaries. It's http://freedocumentaries.org/ But I don't think they have movies, unfortunately

[lovemydog]

46. Yeah, that's a great site! Thanks for mentioning it.

There's also lots of great stuff these days on youtube.

[marym625]

47. I do hate when you go to a YouTube movie

Click on it, only to get a commercial for some illegal site that says it's free but wants your credit card information.

But yes, especially with the documentaries. YouTube has a ton of stuff. Best part, I think, is the archived news reports and speeches. It's really cool to be able to hear FDR giving a radio address. Things like that

[lovemydog]

48. Yeah. I love looking up old news footage too.

I especially enjoy seeing speeches & interviews of people I admire like Huey Long, Angela Davis, Cesar Chavez, pro-labor people who made activism their lives. Also, so much great music stuff. When someone like B.B. King or Jean Ritchie passes away, you can go and see really cool interviews & footage of them.

[marym625]

51. Yeah, the music is fabulous

You couldn't do that before YouTube. At least nowhere near as easily

[99Forever]

29. Truly awesome post, Mary!

[marym625]

30. Thank you very much, 99Forever!

I appreciate that. I used to be an admin on a couple LGBT Facebook pages. Those two things went over pretty well.

I don't know if you listen to the song but I don't know how anyone can and not smile.

Thanks again

41. good news from Africa: Mozambique To Decriminalize Homosexuality June 29

http://www.ibtimes.com/mozambique-decriminalize-homosexuality-june-29-southeast-african-nation-latest-1948203

Its a big step in the right direction.

[marym625]

42. That's fabulous news!

Thanks for the link and the information!

YAY!

[Behind the Aegis]

45. Awesome!

There is another African country doing this too, I believe. I just can't remember which one.

[Rhythm]

49. Kickin' it... Recc'in it...

[marym625]

50. Thank you!

What a great month it is!
