Pridefest Denver 2009

The gay pride celebration in Denver will be June 27th and 28th. It soon will be time to get out your rainbow striped oven mitts and afro wigs to celebrate. Rainbow striped bunting will quickly festoon the city. The city’s homeless soon forced to wear brightly colored suspenders as they piss on the downtown sidewalks.

I would like to take this moment to suggest that maybe the gay flag is a little …uh…dated. It’s a little garish in its bright stripes. How about we go for more of an earth tone? Maybe sand and cinnamon? Oh, sorry that’s the bear flag isn’t it? If that happened you couldn’t tell a twink from a bear. Other than how many web domains they run.

The Theme (we love a theme) for Pridefest is “Worldwide Pride….Connect the Dots!” Fun. As part of the theme, they are cross promoting with Prides around the world. Denver’s current partner is Baguio in the Philippines. Super fun! As the ultimate event on the main stage on Sunday the 28th is Deborah Gibson! Yep, Debbie Gibson. Super-Duper fun!

The last time I had a run in with Debbie as on the last super gay Atlantis cruise. I was all excited to see her, but she was a no show. Apparently, she didn’t care if she broke my fragile heart and canceled at the last minute. My tears are dry now, but I’ve been hurt. I’m thinking I’m gonna miss the Debboganza. Go ahead, I’m fine.

Well, you have 18 days to go buy a new pair of hot pants and that Madonna cowboy hat. Just this morning I sent an email to my boss requesting Monday the 29th off, due to my tan being uneven.
