Happy Pride Month

London, Day 2, originally uploaded by Timothy State.

        Kelly has offered up the Pride Month Challenge, challenging bloggers to post a photo in celebration of Pride and why we’ve posted this photo.
        I snapped this photograph during Pride while on the streets of London’s West End last summer. I think it’s a wonderfully intimate shot of two friends, enjoying the day together, and photographically, it captures the depth of friendship that exists between gay men. Our ability to love, and to continue loving as relationships evolve is admirable, and I believe our straight friends could learn a thing or two from gay men and lesbian women and how we choose to honor and respect our relationships. So happy Pride!

Video Blog

        One of the gaybies has started a video blog on YouTube. He put together this great tribute to World AIDS Day, which the PRIDE kids did a great job of making it a campus recognition, and not just a gay issue. Watching the World AIDS Day video, I discovered his other video entries. The one about the embarrassing bathroom incident had me rolling on the floor, mostly because of his uncensored discomfort around female troubles. Hysterical.

Know Your Hate

        A recent article in The Stentor, the College’s student newspaper, highlighted the story of a PRIDE poster hanging in the cafeteria that was defaced with Bible verses. The verses tagged on the poster were Luke 13:3 and Romans 6:23.
        So the PRIDE kids got together and talked about it. They looked up the Bible verses to see what they said, and then determined the tagging represented such blatant ignorance, they decided to just leave the poster hanging as is.
        The story ends with the quote from one of the gay kids, “The Bible verses that the vandals referenced aren’t even the traditional gay-bashing Bible verses. Those are in Leviticus.”
