Maybe theres just no one here that lives nearby

 

These parades can be rad, but at the same time they can spread the whole gay stereotype horribly...Having guys dress up deliberately as faggily as possible and prancing around just pisses me off =[

 

true. but its a good time too. other than that.

 

Because using the word "faggy" doesn't perpetuate any stereotype either...

 

People from all over the u.s go. Last year 450,000ish people went.

 

Well I'm gay so I'm allowed to use that word! (Just joking, don't worry). But I did use "faggy" deliberately to get that image of the stereotype across because that was what I was talking about.

 

Hey,
I'm sponsoring an entry. March with us. We'll be wearing shirts, toting signs, and handing out literature for genital integrity and also for equal marriage.

Genital integrity - if you don't know - is about the basic human right to keep the whole body you were born with regardless if you're male, female, or intersexed. We oppose all non-emergency genital surgery until the owner of the genitals is old enough to weigh in on the matter.

We can loan you a shirt to wear or I have some on Zazzle (http://TLCTugger.com/prodINTACTIVISM.htm) which are nearly free since I give you back your purchase price in merchandise from my web site (foreskin restoration devices, but we have some stuff gals and intact guys can use also).

Join us! I won't know our precise line-up address until 1 week prior but it will be south of Belmont and and Halsted. Take the el to Belmont (1 stop south of Wrigley Field) before noon. Keep our business cell number with you 847 414-1692 in case you have trouble finding us.

Contact me ASAP. I need to commit on signs, shirts, and literature quantities, so I need a head count.

Cheers,
-Ron
