Happy Pride Day!

Rant Amy put out a call for photos of hunky gardeners. While I second that emotion, in my neighborhood they’re in short supply, so how about some hunky cowboys from D.C.’s recent Gay Pride Parade? I say who cares what team they play for; these guys were HOT, downright SIZZLING. And how often do we get to see buff semi-naked men girating for our entertainment, anyway? In my day-to-day life, never, and it’s one of the many reasons I enjoy a good Gay Pride Parade.
But there was lots more to love than just the boy-toys. For the first time since I’ve been attending, the parade had a huge contingent of families, baby strollers and all. It had floats sponsored by such corporate giants as Southwest Airlines and Fannie Mae, with their gay or gay-friendly employees in the lead. It had every single city politician in Washington in th
is election year; no mayoral or city council candidate would think of missing this event.

And despite the forces of darkness and repression over at the White House and on the Hill, this event was about progress and enlightenment and PRIDE. Even the straight politicians knew to call out "Happy Pride" to the crowd because our local pols GET IT.
Now just so I’m not accused of any kind of bias - dear god - the other photos show hot female motorcyclists and one of their topless passengers - because every parade needs some bare-breasted women, as I’ve said before.

Well!! You are certainly branching (that’s a horticultural term) out!! I thought it was hysterical, but what happened to Francis Williams Hosta, etc.? (My personal favorite hosta - and my feelings are still hurt!!) Even so,I must say, your columns are great.

I wondered why we were having hotter temperatures lately! Whew! I love a parade. Where I live we have more chunky than hunky gardeners. (That’s hot too!) Glad to hear there was a great turnout at the parade!
