A chance for anyone who wants to just to parade through the streets in a celebration of being alive and being human, with no lines drawn between black and white, male and female, straight and gay. Ideal forum for meeting like-minded individuals who care more about individuals than group identities.

Thanksgiving is about as equal-opportunity as it gets. Unless you're a turkey. [DrCurry, Oct 04 2004, last modified Oct 05 2004]

"I'm proud and I'm proud!" |
|
| |
I love this! You would get good sponsorship for this sort of event. I'd attend! |
|
| |
This is just a typical parade, isn't it? |
|
| |
No. Shush. Zip it and sit. The coppers would be on you with water cannons and tear gas in a heartbeat. And rightly so. Indiscriminate pride, indeed. |
|
| |
STOP, ER, START, ER, START, ER, INDISCRIMINATION NOW! |
|
| |
Would you have floats for different people who want to say different things, or just have people carrying baners saying 'I have nothing to say'? |
|
| |
I wanna carry a sign that reads 'Yippee!!!' |
|
| |
Baked, I believe - most big cities have some sort of general feel-good parade with no special distinctions involved. In NYC, it's the Thanksgiving Parade. |
|
| |
The only label I proudly wear says "Drip Dry Only". |
|
| |
Maybe it should be scheduled in August, since Pride goes before a Fall. |

//In New Orleans, Mardi Gras.
In Germany, Karneval / Fasching.
In San Francisco, Gay Pride Parade//
In London, stay at home and grumble. |

MAke it an Emu Parade. Everyone picks up rubbish and puts it in the nearest bin. |
|
| |
And then attacks Michael Parkinson. Though I'm not sure whether he'd be up for that. |
|
| |
I am a 'ordinary' person and have nothing to be proud of, so I like this idea because I have always wanted to parade but never had anything to parade about. |
|
| |
I don't want to rain on your parade but... |
|
| |
...they won't be taking any Risks. |
|
| |
I'm not very up on my religious studies but isn't 'Pride' one of the seven deadly sins? And wouldn't it therefore be anti-Christian to hold such a parade? |
|
| |
It doesn't stipulate whether it's to be held in a Christian country, Islamist Theocracy, or Antarctica. |
|
| |
In fact, it's indiscriminate, as far as I can see. |
|
| |
[hippo] I just realized you suggested an idea very similar to this one in an annotation almost two years ago. See link. |
|

Well spotted [krelnik] - I had completely forgotten about that (Aug 13 2001 anno: "It might be better to have a catch-all "Pride Pride Parade". If you're proud of anything - anything at all - then you can show how proud you are") |
|
| |
How would we signal our pride of pride? All the good ribbon colors have been taken... |
