08 Pride Post #26: Party’s over.

08 Pride Post #24: Quotable Pride— “it is not difference which immobilizes us, but silence”

“I have come to believe over and over again, that what is most important to me must be spoken, made verbal and shared, even at the risk of having it bruised or misunderstood…. My silences had not protected me. Your silence will not protect you…. and [...]

08 Pride Post #22: A praetorian vanguard of queer power — Dykes on Bikes®

The spectacle thundered to life about 10 a.m. in the traditional manner, with hundreds of motorcycles ridden by the Women’s Motorcycle Contingent — the “Dykes on Bikes” — pouring off Beale Street onto Market Street.

08 Pride Post #17: Quotable Pride-”After us will come many other countries”
