I was just out in Flusning, have never been to one of the Pride events outside Manhattan. If I'd known it was going on, I could probably have gone. Not that much of an activist type though. I usually go to part of the booths 'n' shishkebob business at Christopher Street, but I've long felt fairly alien to the scene. All of my old gay NYC friends have either left or are dead. My only close gay friend here I've known only since 2005. Sometimes the parade is fun, though, esp. the Majorette Boys.
