Has your local Gay Pride Week/Parade become GLBT Pride?
CIties all over the USA have been having Gay Pride Week as long as I can remember, prolly just after the Stonewall Riots (1969?) in NYC, the civil rights turning point in the USA. I think it's a National Event.
Even a small boro like Brooklyn has it's own separate parade and stage in the park, music, drag shows, etc. manhattan has the best, with every branch of city government marching in the parade, and everyone else, it may be the BIGGEST parade we have. The lights on the Empire State Building are lavender in recognition. Anyway, I can't recall when it became GLBT Pride (Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transexual). Anyone know? Do they have GLBT Pride week in other nations?

I'm offended. I think the correct term is "differently gendered."

You mean, "mentally challenged".

I have a gay friend who's a member of mensa. Are you? Do you even know what mensa is?

As far as I know (which admittedly isn't that far), the London Gay Pride parade is also known as GLB... not so much the T, but then I'm not sure.. but then they swap the letters round to LGB, which I think flows better...actually I have no idea what I'm talking about

I scored high enough on an IQ test to get in with 19 points to spare. Does it matter that I don't feel like I need to be in a genius club to make myself feel better?

forrestfreak seems to think that gays necessarily have a mental disability. It doesn't matter to me what club you join. ...but I'd put money down that he'd never get the invite.

I can't believe people expect maturity from 16-year-olds on the internet.
There's a little thing I heard about called "accountability" (as in, for one's actions). When you're on the internet it disappears.

That's what I'm talking about. People shouldn't expect maturity from people like us, Forrest.

And therapists also advertise as "GLBT Friendly."
And businesses put the rainbow flag in their windows, to let everyone know they are GLBT friendly. I'd like a rainbow flag avatar, but I'm not tech sophisticated.
