Re: PRIDE
I was glad to see the Ben Franklin Bridge into Philadelphia lit up in rainbow colors last night. I was concerned they might be canceling such displays for fear of appearing to have caught the woke (and thereby jeopardizing the Port Authority's federal funding).

Oh, here is their Woke AF lighting schedule for the month:

Re: PRIDE
Thanks Sue. I Iive nearby this bridge but habitually avoid any place where I could see it after dark. (I hate driving in Philly. For me at nite would be impossible.)I wore my new gay pride t shirt today. The weather is cooperating for t-shirts this week. My particular faith organization has a national pride organization called 'Harmony' and they sold two different designs this year--both with the theme of hope. I have them both. Also have a flag pin that stays on my hat all the time. I fully support the entry that begins this thread.

40 years ago - still the most brilliant live rock performance ever. Perfect for opening PRIDE month:

Re: PRIDE
Freddie was on fire that day. Difficult to believe he died more than 33 years ago. I've seen Queen's performance a number of times, but I've never seen the 'police' introduction before.
