Culture: Celebration: Pride Parade
Indiscriminate Pride Parade   (+3)  [vote for, against]
For those of us who don't care about labels

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]

Large-FIgured Pride Day http://www.halfbake...gured_20Pride_20Day
Something like this was suggested in the first annotation by [hippo] on this idea from two years ago.. [krelnik, 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!
-- Pericles, Apr 02 2003


This is just a typical parade, isn't it?
-- waugsqueke, Apr 02 2003


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!

I wanna carry a sign that reads 'Yippee!!!'
-- sambwiches, Apr 02 2003


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".
-- lostdog, Apr 02 2003


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.

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.
-- Mr Risk, Apr 03 2003


I don't want to rain on your parade but...

...they won't be taking any Risks.
-- FarmerJohn, Apr 03 2003


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?
-- DrBob, Apr 03 2003


[hippo] I just realized you suggested an idea very similar to this one in an annotation almost two years ago. See link.
-- krelnik, Apr 10 2003


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")
-- hippo, Apr 11 2003


How would we signal our pride of pride? All the good ribbon colors have been taken...
