00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:00.040
 Hello from Baehr and Curadh, a podcast from the Land of Awes Information Services.

2
00:00:10.260 --> 00:00:16.800
 I love you Curadh. I love you Baehr. This is episode 152 of the Baehr and Curadh podcast.

3
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:25.520
 We're going to talk about what is pride. Okay. But first, Haunt Cub sent us a message on

4
00:00:25.520 --> 00:00:32.720
 Mastodon. Love you guys, but you confused Priscilla with Tu Wong Fu, which is the lesser

5
00:00:32.720 --> 00:00:39.020
 movie in my opinion. Cheerleader and Paris is Burning are both worth watching.

6
00:00:39.020 --> 00:00:44.940
 So, I think he confirmed that we are no expert on movies.

7
00:00:44.940 --> 00:00:50.500
 Well, To Wong Fu is the one that was Wesley's Nights, Patrick Swayze and John Leguizamo.

8
00:00:50.500 --> 00:00:58.740
 That's the one that we got confused. So, yeah. I think they're both the same movie, just

9
00:00:58.740 --> 00:01:03.420
 different titles. I don't know. I'm probably completely off. So, I'm sure we'll get corrected,

10
00:01:03.420 --> 00:01:04.400
 which is okay.

11
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:09.000
 Well, they probably are different movies.

12
00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:11.560
 They're both movies with different scripts, but it's the same concept.

13
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:13.680
 Okay. Drag queens.

14
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:19.900
 Heterosexual actors playing drag queens.

15
00:01:19.900 --> 00:01:20.520
 Okay.

16
00:01:20.520 --> 00:01:22.460
 I think.

17
00:01:22.460 --> 00:01:24.280
 Yeah. So.

18
00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:26.640
 We would have to watch them both, I guess, to compare.

19
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:30.940
 Yeah. But he's recommending that we do watch Cheerleader and Paris is Burning.

20
00:01:30.940 --> 00:01:37.880
 And I think we decided that those were things that we wanted to watch.

21
00:01:37.880 --> 00:01:38.860
 I think so.

22
00:01:38.860 --> 00:01:42.460
 Okay. Well, here we go.

23
00:01:42.460 --> 00:01:45.100
 How did Pride start?

24
00:01:45.100 --> 00:01:48.320
 I don't know. I'm pretty sure you would probably be able to tell me.

25
00:01:48.320 --> 00:01:52.620
 Like Pride Parade or Pride Month?

26
00:01:52.620 --> 00:01:57.020
 So, Pride did not exist as a concept until gay people created it.

27
00:01:57.020 --> 00:01:59.060
 That's not true. You know that as well as I do.

28
00:01:59.060 --> 00:02:01.640
 Isn't Pride one of the seven deadly sins?

29
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:07.180
 Yes. And do you know why Pride is in June and not in November?

30
00:02:07.180 --> 00:02:08.740
 No.

31
00:02:08.740 --> 00:02:08.820
 No?

32
00:02:08.820 --> 00:02:11.680
 Because Pride always goeth before the fall.

33
00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:13.660
 Oh, okay. Hmm.

34
00:02:13.660 --> 00:02:20.100
 I imagine everyone listening to this podcast already knows what Stonewall is.

35
00:02:20.100 --> 00:02:21.540
 I would hope so.

36
00:02:21.540 --> 00:02:23.260
 Do you know what Stonewall is?

37
00:02:23.260 --> 00:02:25.280
 Yes, I know what Stonewall is. Remember we talked about it?

38
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:26.060
 Tell me about it.

39
00:02:26.060 --> 00:02:28.560
 No, I'm not going to be put on the gun like that.

40
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:36.540
 It was a protest in New York City at Stonewall, which was a tavern owned by the mob.

41
00:02:36.540 --> 00:02:38.720
 And that was Stone Shakedown's own gay community.

42
00:02:38.720 --> 00:02:42.060
 And the police were doing shakedowns also.

43
00:02:42.060 --> 00:02:45.880
 But was it right back in the 70s or 60s?

44
00:02:45.880 --> 00:02:51.940
 Probably only the second or third time that any gay people had said,

45
00:02:51.940 --> 00:02:53.660
 we've had enough of this.

46
00:02:53.660 --> 00:02:55.820
 We've had enough, yeah. But it was in the 60s or 70s?

47
00:02:55.820 --> 00:02:57.380
 It was the 70s, wasn't it?

48
00:02:57.380 --> 00:03:03.720
 No, because the Pride stuff started in the 70s.

49
00:03:03.720 --> 00:03:06.480
 Okay. So, Stonewall was before then?

50
00:03:06.480 --> 00:03:08.640
 Yeah, it was probably a couple of years before.

51
00:03:08.640 --> 00:03:10.820
 I thought it was in the 70s, okay.

52
00:03:10.820 --> 00:03:17.460
 It was, well, let me say something.

53
00:03:17.460 --> 00:03:29.440
 There seems to be a lot of gay people who are sort of removing themselves from transgendered people.

54
00:03:29.440 --> 00:03:30.140
 Okay.

55
00:03:30.140 --> 00:03:36.580
 They're kind of saying, well, the Trump administration is going after trans people

56
00:03:36.580 --> 00:03:38.200
 and that doesn't affect me.

57
00:03:38.200 --> 00:03:39.540
 Because I'm not trans.

58
00:03:39.540 --> 00:03:46.380
 Well, it was drag queens that basically fought back at Stonewall.

59
00:03:46.380 --> 00:03:46.660
 Yeah.

60
00:03:46.660 --> 00:03:51.020
 We're in this together.

61
00:03:51.020 --> 00:03:53.100
 It's not good that...

62
00:03:53.100 --> 00:03:56.200
 Yes, all sexual minorities should be...

63
00:03:56.200 --> 00:03:57.300
 Sticking together.

64
00:03:57.300 --> 00:03:57.820
 Yes.

65
00:03:57.820 --> 00:04:00.560
 So, yeah, that's not good.

66
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:03.080
 So don't send your trans friends under the bus.

67
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:04.520
 No. Nope.

68
00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:07.580
 Do you know any trans people?

69
00:04:07.580 --> 00:04:09.640
 Well, you do.

70
00:04:09.640 --> 00:04:10.980
 I believe so.

71
00:04:10.980 --> 00:04:16.100
 We've actually celebrated Pride with a couple of them, haven't we?

72
00:04:16.100 --> 00:04:16.560
 Mm-hmm.

73
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:17.200
 Yeah.

74
00:04:17.200 --> 00:04:19.780
 My co-worker's son's trans.

75
00:04:19.780 --> 00:04:20.840
 You've met him.

76
00:04:20.840 --> 00:04:21.440
 Mm-hmm.

77
00:04:21.440 --> 00:04:24.200
 I wasn't sure if you knew, if you remember him or not.

78
00:04:24.200 --> 00:04:24.520
 Mm-hmm.

79
00:04:24.520 --> 00:04:26.460
 So, good kid. Really good kid.

80
00:04:26.460 --> 00:04:26.960
 Mm-hmm.

81
00:04:26.960 --> 00:04:34.120
 So, it's a shame that 1% of the minority is being demonized.

82
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:37.500
 And I think among heterosexuals, those who say,

83
00:04:37.500 --> 00:04:42.300
 I've never met a trans person, is not telling the truth.

84
00:04:42.300 --> 00:04:43.480
 They just don't know it.

85
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:44.580
 Yeah, that's true.

86
00:04:44.580 --> 00:04:47.580
 There was a thing on TikTok I saw this week.

87
00:04:47.580 --> 00:04:55.380
 It was a trans, formerly female, now male,

88
00:04:55.380 --> 00:04:59.580
 and was mad because he was getting hit on by cisgendered...

89
00:04:59.580 --> 00:05:03.600
 Cis females.

90
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:04.460
 Mm-hmm.

91
00:05:04.460 --> 00:05:07.340
 Because you have no idea that it was...

92
00:05:07.340 --> 00:05:08.360
 Never a female.

93
00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:12.700
 Looked very butch, very, you know, yeah, there was no, you know,

94
00:05:12.700 --> 00:05:17.460
 and was, like, trying to figure out how to not be hit on by cisgendered straight women.

95
00:05:17.460 --> 00:05:22.860
 So, because he's, you know, said masculine, lesbian, you know, this and that.

96
00:05:22.860 --> 00:05:23.680
 So, it was kind of cute.

97
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:24.260
 Mm-hmm.

98
00:05:24.260 --> 00:05:27.420
 But an attractive man, very attractive man.

99
00:05:27.420 --> 00:05:27.800
 Mm-hmm.

100
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:30.040
 So, okay.

101
00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:32.660
 So, Pride started at Stonewall then?

102
00:05:32.660 --> 00:05:35.660
 Well, it...

103
00:05:35.660 --> 00:05:36.660
 Well...

104
00:05:36.660 --> 00:05:38.040
 Well, in our terms.

105
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:38.680
 Yes.

106
00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:39.960
 Yeah, that's what I meant.

107
00:05:39.960 --> 00:05:40.580
 You know what I meant.

108
00:05:40.580 --> 00:05:41.420
 Okay.

109
00:05:41.420 --> 00:05:42.600
 All right.

110
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:45.640
 How do we celebrate Pride today?

111
00:05:45.640 --> 00:05:53.100
 In almost every major city, and certainly in every state of the country,

112
00:05:53.100 --> 00:05:56.880
 there is a Pride celebration of some kind.

113
00:05:56.880 --> 00:05:57.440
 Mm-hmm.

114
00:05:57.440 --> 00:05:58.200
 For the month.

115
00:05:58.200 --> 00:06:03.560
 So, I don't think anybody can say that it's not within driving distance.

116
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:04.600
 Mm-hmm.

117
00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:06.640
 It's usually a parade.

118
00:06:06.640 --> 00:06:08.360
 It's usually a parade, usually a festival.

119
00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:09.080
 Mm-hmm.

120
00:06:09.080 --> 00:06:10.920
 A lot of bar events.

121
00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:11.440
 Yeah.

122
00:06:11.440 --> 00:06:12.760
 Mm-hmm.

123
00:06:12.760 --> 00:06:13.740
 A lot of drag queens.

124
00:06:13.740 --> 00:06:14.320
 Mm-hmm.

125
00:06:14.320 --> 00:06:17.020
 A lot of Leatherman, Cowboys.

126
00:06:17.020 --> 00:06:18.640
 Yeah, all types.

127
00:06:18.640 --> 00:06:19.260
 Mm-hmm.

128
00:06:19.260 --> 00:06:19.840
 Yeah.

129
00:06:19.840 --> 00:06:25.640
 Yeah, but mostly with parades and parties and get-togethers and still proms.

130
00:06:25.640 --> 00:06:27.660
 They have proms, you know what I mean?

131
00:06:27.660 --> 00:06:30.380
 That's sort of a relatively new thing.

132
00:06:30.380 --> 00:06:30.880
 Is it?

133
00:06:30.880 --> 00:06:31.160
 Okay.

134
00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:36.160
 It was to give people who didn't get a chance to...

135
00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:39.520
 Go to prom the way they should have.

136
00:06:39.520 --> 00:06:40.460
 Be like yourself.

137
00:06:40.460 --> 00:06:41.120
 Yes.

138
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:41.420
 Yeah.

139
00:06:41.420 --> 00:06:42.680
 That's true.

140
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:44.760
 I mean, I went to prom acting straight.

141
00:06:44.760 --> 00:06:48.860
 The only two girls I ever dated was the one I took to the junior prom

142
00:06:48.860 --> 00:06:50.640
 and the one that I took to the senior prom.

143
00:06:50.640 --> 00:06:51.360
 Mm-hmm.

144
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:53.580
 What was your idea of dating?

145
00:06:53.580 --> 00:06:56.480
 Well, we went to supper first.

146
00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:56.840
 Yeah.

147
00:06:56.840 --> 00:06:58.880
 So, that was the date.

148
00:06:58.880 --> 00:06:59.580
 No kissy?

149
00:06:59.580 --> 00:07:00.500
 No.

150
00:07:00.500 --> 00:07:06.140
 I wish everyone could see the look on your face when I ask.

151
00:07:06.140 --> 00:07:08.260
 When I ask you a question, you get so awkward and it's so cute.

152
00:07:08.260 --> 00:07:10.640
 It's icky.

153
00:07:10.640 --> 00:07:12.880
 So, yes, I'm an AK.

154
00:07:12.880 --> 00:07:15.180
 You're an AK?

155
00:07:15.180 --> 00:07:17.060
 What's that mean?

156
00:07:17.060 --> 00:07:20.440
 Never had sex with a woman.

157
00:07:20.440 --> 00:07:20.760
 Okay.

158
00:07:20.760 --> 00:07:23.620
 I thought you were going to say something different.

159
00:07:23.620 --> 00:07:29.360
 What did you call yourself the one time where you've never touched a vagina before and you think...

160
00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:30.620
 Gold star gay.

161
00:07:30.620 --> 00:07:31.600
 Gold star gay, yeah.

162
00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:33.440
 Ew.

163
00:07:33.440 --> 00:07:35.880
 God.

164
00:07:35.880 --> 00:07:37.900
 Oh, well.

165
00:07:37.900 --> 00:07:39.460
 All right.

166
00:07:39.460 --> 00:07:43.240
 Can I celebrate pride without being out?

167
00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:44.560
 I think so.

168
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:45.740
 Of course you can.

169
00:07:45.740 --> 00:07:47.440
 I think anybody can celebrate pride for any reason.

170
00:07:47.440 --> 00:07:48.780
 I think.

171
00:07:48.780 --> 00:07:54.860
 And if you're not out, but you're spotted by somebody at the gay pride parade,

172
00:07:54.860 --> 00:07:58.240
 there's lots of heterosexuals there.

173
00:07:58.240 --> 00:07:58.540
 Yeah.

174
00:07:58.540 --> 00:07:59.780
 Especially the parade.

175
00:07:59.780 --> 00:08:00.360
 Oh, yeah.

176
00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:03.460
 Sometimes not the festival.

177
00:08:03.460 --> 00:08:03.800
 Oh, yeah.

178
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:04.360
 Because most...

179
00:08:05.060 --> 00:08:13.520
 Most pride organizations have to pay for things somehow, so usually at the festival there's an entry charge.

180
00:08:13.520 --> 00:08:14.220
 Yeah.

181
00:08:14.220 --> 00:08:17.540
 Usually, you have to buy a button.

182
00:08:17.540 --> 00:08:18.300
 Buy a button, yeah.

183
00:08:18.300 --> 00:08:22.260
 And that button will usually get you into all the events all week long.

184
00:08:22.260 --> 00:08:22.680
 Yeah.

185
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:24.320
 Kind of like our river festival.

186
00:08:24.320 --> 00:08:26.320
 We haven't gotten our buttons this year, have we?

187
00:08:26.320 --> 00:08:28.500
 Well, we should be getting them given to us, right?

188
00:08:28.500 --> 00:08:33.500
 We have a booth for our podcast at the festival.

189
00:08:33.500 --> 00:08:34.620
 Okay.

190
00:08:34.940 --> 00:08:37.260
 And it is supposed to come with two buttons.

191
00:08:37.260 --> 00:08:37.680
 Okay.

192
00:08:37.680 --> 00:08:42.160
 Since the festival will be like one of the last things...

193
00:08:42.160 --> 00:08:43.200
 It is the last one.

194
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:47.460
 Probably won't get as much except...

195
00:08:47.460 --> 00:08:47.760
 Yeah.

196
00:08:47.760 --> 00:08:48.240
 Admission.

197
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:49.240
 Yeah.

198
00:08:49.240 --> 00:08:58.240
 But we have our own buttons, so we'll have our gay pride buttons and we'll have our podcast buttons.

199
00:08:58.240 --> 00:08:59.180
 Cool.

200
00:08:59.180 --> 00:09:03.280
 I also made us name tags.

201
00:09:03.280 --> 00:09:04.160
 Mm-hmm.

202
00:09:04.160 --> 00:09:04.720
 I saw that.

203
00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:09.640
 Because the biggest question we get is, which one is bare and which one is curved?

204
00:09:09.640 --> 00:09:14.600
 That irritates me, because I think it's pretty obvious in the picture.

205
00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:16.720
 I suppose...

206
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:18.240
 Well, it's not like they're photographs.

207
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:18.780
 Yeah.

208
00:09:18.780 --> 00:09:24.080
 But still, I mean, if we're standing there together, you should be able to tell.

209
00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:27.160
 Kind of like heterosexuals who say, are you guys brothers?

210
00:09:27.160 --> 00:09:28.260
 Yeah, exactly.

211
00:09:28.260 --> 00:09:30.320
 Like the other day, that happened to you.

212
00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:31.820
 No.

213
00:09:31.820 --> 00:09:32.600
 Yeah.

214
00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:33.500
 Oh, son.

215
00:09:33.500 --> 00:09:33.940
 Son.

216
00:09:33.940 --> 00:09:34.580
 Is that your son?

217
00:09:34.600 --> 00:09:34.940
 Yeah.

218
00:09:34.940 --> 00:09:44.060
 The EMT who was with me in the ambulance to the hospital saw me call you and said, is that your son?

219
00:09:44.060 --> 00:09:44.520
 Mm-hmm.

220
00:09:44.520 --> 00:09:48.320
 Now you have to explain to people why you were in with the EMS.

221
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:50.900
 Oh, was that this week?

222
00:09:50.900 --> 00:09:51.840
 Yes, it was Monday.

223
00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:54.780
 Monday or Tuesday, I think Tuesday.

224
00:09:54.780 --> 00:09:55.540
 It was Monday.

225
00:09:55.540 --> 00:09:58.300
 I passed out at work.

226
00:09:58.300 --> 00:09:59.280
 Okay.

227
00:09:59.280 --> 00:10:00.800
 Because...

228
00:10:00.800 --> 00:10:00.960
 What?

229
00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:01.560
 Um.

230
00:10:01.560 --> 00:10:04.480
 It was a combination of the...

231
00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:08.520
 Vertigo that I've been suffering from and dehydration from...

232
00:10:08.520 --> 00:10:10.000
 From diarrhea.

233
00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:10.680
 Okay.

234
00:10:10.680 --> 00:10:18.820
 One minute I was going to sit down at my desk, and the next minute I'm on the floor with everybody looking down at me.

235
00:10:18.820 --> 00:10:19.140
 Yeah.

236
00:10:19.140 --> 00:10:24.960
 Had I been at home when that happened, I would not have gone to the hospital.

237
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:29.580
 But at work, there's just no telling them, no, I'm going to go...

238
00:10:29.580 --> 00:10:29.760
 Yeah.

239
00:10:29.760 --> 00:10:31.060
 So, yeah.

240
00:10:31.060 --> 00:10:33.060
 They let me...

241
00:10:33.060 --> 00:10:34.360
 They...

242
00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:36.620
 They carted me off in a...

243
00:10:36.620 --> 00:10:37.320
 On a gurney.

244
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:38.120
 Mm-hmm.

245
00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:39.960
 Better that than a body bag.

246
00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:41.620
 Or handcuffs.

247
00:10:41.620 --> 00:10:42.200
 Mm-hmm.

248
00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:44.660
 You like handcuffs, don't lie.

249
00:10:44.660 --> 00:10:48.080
 All right.

250
00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:50.960
 Well, everything's better now, so you're all right.

251
00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:51.500
 Mm-hmm.

252
00:10:51.500 --> 00:10:51.960
 Okay.

253
00:10:51.960 --> 00:10:53.980
 We've walked around all over the place.

254
00:10:53.980 --> 00:10:58.220
 I got my 6,000 steps at the zoo today, so...

255
00:10:58.220 --> 00:10:58.700
 I...

256
00:10:58.700 --> 00:11:01.360
 I don't think I have the...

257
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:01.920
 Stamina?

258
00:11:01.920 --> 00:11:04.240
 The stamina or the fortitude...

259
00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:05.400
 That I had a year ago.

260
00:11:05.400 --> 00:11:06.040
 Okay.

261
00:11:06.040 --> 00:11:10.780
 But I'm not going to get it back unless I continue to push the limits.

262
00:11:10.780 --> 00:11:13.940
 Yeah, you still scare me, though, when you get like that, though.

263
00:11:13.940 --> 00:11:14.320
 Mm-hmm.

264
00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:16.740
 So, it just makes me nervous.

265
00:11:16.740 --> 00:11:24.340
 I see 90-year-old men with a cane pass me all the time when I'm walking, and it irritates me.

266
00:11:24.340 --> 00:11:30.980
 So, I think if 90-year-old men can pass me, then I can probably do better.

267
00:11:30.980 --> 00:11:34.120
 Yeah, but you don't know...

268
00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:34.960
 There's just...

269
00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:35.360
 I don't know.

270
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:37.240
 There's things that I worry about with you.

271
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:41.240
 I mean, you have these pouts, and then, like, you know, you're in the hospital, or...

272
00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:44.000
 Today, you didn't really do very well, and you're by the end of the walk, either.

273
00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:46.740
 I was just tired, and I had to sit down a lot.

274
00:11:46.740 --> 00:11:47.340
 Okay.

275
00:11:47.340 --> 00:11:49.040
 I just worry about you, that's all.

276
00:11:49.040 --> 00:11:51.520
 Unless you don't want me to worry about you.

277
00:11:51.520 --> 00:11:54.100
 You can worry if you want.

278
00:11:54.100 --> 00:11:54.640
 Okay.

279
00:11:54.640 --> 00:11:55.860
 I'm okay with that.

280
00:11:55.860 --> 00:11:56.380
 Okay.

281
00:11:56.380 --> 00:11:59.480
 What do I wear to pride events?

282
00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:03.580
 Well, even you, there's some pride events people don't wear anything.

283
00:12:03.580 --> 00:12:04.080
 Oh, yeah.

284
00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:05.960
 I was going to say, as little as possible.

285
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:06.300
 Yeah.

286
00:12:06.300 --> 00:12:09.740
 So, really, I mean, anything that you want to.

287
00:12:09.740 --> 00:12:11.360
 But, yeah, you get some bigger cities.

288
00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:14.020
 There's just birthday suits everywhere.

289
00:12:14.020 --> 00:12:14.380
 Hmm.

290
00:12:14.380 --> 00:12:16.480
 I don't think it's appropriate.

291
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:22.320
 I think that's probably San Francisco, because public nudity is allowed in that city.

292
00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:23.020
 Oh, is it really?

293
00:12:23.020 --> 00:12:23.280
 Yeah.

294
00:12:23.280 --> 00:12:25.400
 It's probably not in most cities.

295
00:12:25.400 --> 00:12:25.800
 Yeah.

296
00:12:25.800 --> 00:12:27.880
 Well, and I don't think...

297
00:12:27.880 --> 00:12:33.500
 I mean, to each their own, but to me, like, pride events, stuff like that, a lot of them

298
00:12:33.500 --> 00:12:34.040
 are becoming fanciful.

299
00:12:34.040 --> 00:12:34.740
 Family events.

300
00:12:34.740 --> 00:12:38.480
 And I don't think that that's appropriate.

301
00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:39.600
 I think...

302
00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:42.160
 What about the guys who are wearing leather harnesses?

303
00:12:42.160 --> 00:12:43.080
 That's what I mean.

304
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:45.820
 I think there has to be some sort of...

305
00:12:45.820 --> 00:12:51.400
 And I know this isn't going to go over well, but, I mean, there has to be some sort of

306
00:12:51.400 --> 00:12:52.200
 decorum when you...

307
00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:54.560
 You have to be aware of your surroundings.

308
00:12:54.560 --> 00:13:00.360
 I mean, you don't go to Disney World half naked.

309
00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:01.000
 You know what I mean?

310
00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:04.000
 And if you go to this pride event and you see that...

311
00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:05.360
 There's a bunch of families there.

312
00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:06.760
 Put some clothes on.

313
00:13:06.760 --> 00:13:07.500
 You know what I mean?

314
00:13:07.500 --> 00:13:10.920
 And then later on, when you're at the bar and everyone's drinking and having fun, if

315
00:13:10.920 --> 00:13:14.200
 you want to take your clothes off there and it's at a bar, do it then.

316
00:13:14.200 --> 00:13:19.360
 But, I mean, there's a lot of kickback from people around pride events if they don't take

317
00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:21.680
 their families there anymore because things just get out of hand.

318
00:13:21.680 --> 00:13:23.260
 And I think that's too bad.

319
00:13:23.260 --> 00:13:27.300
 So, since we're on this slippery slope...

320
00:13:27.300 --> 00:13:28.160
 Oh, here we go.

321
00:13:28.160 --> 00:13:29.320
 I'm going to be the bad guy now.

322
00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:30.260
 What about drag queens?

323
00:13:30.260 --> 00:13:33.260
 Drag queens aren't showing their...

324
00:13:33.260 --> 00:13:35.440
 Sometimes.

325
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:37.500
 Well, then I don't think that's appropriate.

326
00:13:37.500 --> 00:13:38.660
 I don't think...

327
00:13:38.660 --> 00:13:41.200
 I mean, I don't think the nudity should be there.

328
00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:44.080
 I mean, I think if you're going to...

329
00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:46.580
 You're trying to make it a family event, then make it a family event.

330
00:13:46.580 --> 00:13:49.140
 And, I mean, it's not...

331
00:13:49.140 --> 00:13:57.700
 There are people saying that children exposed to drag queens are being groomed for sexual...

332
00:13:57.700 --> 00:13:58.580
 That's bullshit.

333
00:13:58.580 --> 00:14:00.880
 But, you know, that's...

334
00:14:00.880 --> 00:14:03.200
 That's their way of justifying that they don't...

335
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:04.140
 They don't like pride.

336
00:14:04.140 --> 00:14:05.020
 Yeah, well, I know.

337
00:14:05.020 --> 00:14:07.280
 They're going to come up and pull anything out of their ass.

338
00:14:07.280 --> 00:14:07.960
 You know what I mean?

339
00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:10.240
 They'd rather fight pride than guns in school.

340
00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:13.760
 So, they can kiss my white Irish ass.

341
00:14:13.760 --> 00:14:18.540
 But, no, I mean, I just think there should be some sort of...

342
00:14:18.540 --> 00:14:20.760
 I mean, you don't agree with me?

343
00:14:20.760 --> 00:14:26.140
 I think of it kind of like gay Mardi Gras.

344
00:14:26.140 --> 00:14:26.920
 Okay.

345
00:14:26.920 --> 00:14:31.420
 You see all kinds of adult behavior at Mardi Gras.

346
00:14:31.420 --> 00:14:31.760
 Okay.

347
00:14:31.760 --> 00:14:34.880
 And families take their kids to it.

348
00:14:34.880 --> 00:14:35.320
 Okay.

349
00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:40.540
 I don't think people should have their genitals out.

350
00:14:40.540 --> 00:14:45.820
 I don't think people should be giving blowjobs on the street.

351
00:14:45.820 --> 00:14:46.180
 Yeah.

352
00:14:46.180 --> 00:14:49.620
 Not that I've ever seen that at Pride, anyway.

353
00:14:49.620 --> 00:14:54.520
 I mean, I've seen videos of stuff like in San Francisco and stuff like that.

354
00:14:54.520 --> 00:14:55.760
 But, I mean, I know it's extreme.

355
00:14:55.760 --> 00:15:01.220
 I've seen videos that were done by porn companies that were pushing the envelope.

356
00:15:01.220 --> 00:15:05.980
 And I don't think I've ever seen it on the evening news.

357
00:15:05.980 --> 00:15:07.060
 No, no.

358
00:15:07.060 --> 00:15:11.640
 But, yeah, I just...

359
00:15:11.640 --> 00:15:13.740
 And I know a lot of people do it for shock value.

360
00:15:13.740 --> 00:15:15.900
 But there's a time and a place.

361
00:15:15.900 --> 00:15:17.280
 You know what I mean?

362
00:15:17.280 --> 00:15:24.060
 I just know that I'd be disappointed if I, you know, say I brought my niece and nephews to Pride one year

363
00:15:24.060 --> 00:15:26.480
 and I turn around and there's two dudes.

364
00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:28.020
 You know what I mean?

365
00:15:28.020 --> 00:15:29.100
 It's just...

366
00:15:29.100 --> 00:15:30.100
 So...

367
00:15:30.100 --> 00:15:30.700
 So...

368
00:15:30.700 --> 00:15:35.720
 It's okay at the Pride events at bars, but not at the parade.

369
00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:37.180
 I would...

370
00:15:37.180 --> 00:15:44.480
 I know that's kind of hypocritical, but in a bar, at least you're in an adult setting.

371
00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:48.540
 What about the festival that we're going to be at that is in an enclosed place?

372
00:15:48.540 --> 00:15:49.600
 But it's part of...

373
00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:50.660
 Kids are invited, right?

374
00:15:50.660 --> 00:15:52.180
 Kids are included.

375
00:15:52.180 --> 00:15:52.480
 Sure.

376
00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:53.160
 Yeah.

377
00:15:53.160 --> 00:15:54.860
 So, I mean, then...

378
00:15:54.860 --> 00:15:56.740
 I think a lot of it has to do with common sense.

379
00:15:56.740 --> 00:15:58.560
 If you don't want your...

380
00:15:58.560 --> 00:15:59.240
 Not so common.

381
00:15:59.240 --> 00:16:00.480
 Yeah, I know.

382
00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:01.800
 But, I mean, if you don't want...

383
00:16:01.800 --> 00:16:08.840
 If you don't want to see your, like, little sister and little brother witnessing stuff like that, then...

384
00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:09.500
 You know what I mean?

385
00:16:09.500 --> 00:16:13.400
 If you want to win your little ones to see it, then don't do it.

386
00:16:13.400 --> 00:16:14.700
 You know what I mean?

387
00:16:14.700 --> 00:16:20.600
 Just because they're not your little ones doesn't mean that you should have carte blanche and do whatever you want.

388
00:16:20.600 --> 00:16:22.400
 Have a little couth.

389
00:16:22.400 --> 00:16:24.540
 So...

390
00:16:24.540 --> 00:16:27.100
 But, no, I have nothing against drag queens or...

391
00:16:27.100 --> 00:16:27.500
 You know what I mean?

392
00:16:27.500 --> 00:16:28.800
 I just think there's a time and a place.

393
00:16:28.800 --> 00:16:29.800
 Sounds like...

394
00:16:29.800 --> 00:16:30.680
 Sounds like it.

395
00:16:30.680 --> 00:16:32.880
 So...

396
00:16:32.880 --> 00:16:33.240
 Okay.

397
00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:34.680
 Where are we at?

398
00:16:34.680 --> 00:16:35.240
 Where do I...

399
00:16:35.240 --> 00:16:36.080
 Where are the pride events?

400
00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:37.340
 If that's what you just did.

401
00:16:37.340 --> 00:16:40.540
 How do I find the nearest pride event...

402
00:16:40.540 --> 00:16:41.000
 Pride parade?

403
00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:44.800
 I looked on Google yesterday.

404
00:16:44.800 --> 00:16:45.540
 Okay.

405
00:16:45.540 --> 00:16:48.820
 And Google knew where the...

406
00:16:48.820 --> 00:16:50.920
 Google knew where I was...

407
00:16:50.920 --> 00:16:51.140
 Okay.

408
00:16:51.140 --> 00:16:51.740
 ...somehow.

409
00:16:51.740 --> 00:16:58.520
 I don't think I had logged in, but maybe it knew by my IP address or something.

410
00:16:58.520 --> 00:16:58.920
 Okay.

411
00:16:58.920 --> 00:16:59.680
 It knew...

412
00:16:59.680 --> 00:17:04.820
 It knew that I was in Wichita, and it says the gay pride events for this month are at these places.

413
00:17:04.820 --> 00:17:05.400
 Okay.

414
00:17:05.400 --> 00:17:08.040
 So, it was really easy to...

415
00:17:08.040 --> 00:17:09.180
 To go to the Google machine?

416
00:17:09.180 --> 00:17:11.420
 Yeah, to figure out where pride is.

417
00:17:11.420 --> 00:17:11.860
 Okay.

418
00:17:11.860 --> 00:17:16.060
 I know last weekend was Kansas City's pride parade.

419
00:17:16.060 --> 00:17:17.540
 Last weekend.

420
00:17:17.540 --> 00:17:21.480
 That's usually a big one, but it's not as big as Oklahoma City's.

421
00:17:21.480 --> 00:17:22.760
 That's my word.

422
00:17:22.760 --> 00:17:28.080
 There's well over a million people at Oklahoma City's pride events.

423
00:17:28.080 --> 00:17:28.340
 Wow.

424
00:17:28.340 --> 00:17:29.320
 That's impressive.

425
00:17:29.320 --> 00:17:37.760
 It's very impressive, and it's very empowering to know that you are there with a million other people...

426
00:17:37.760 --> 00:17:38.580
 I bet.

427
00:17:38.580 --> 00:17:39.800
 ...that support you.

428
00:17:39.800 --> 00:17:40.460
 That's good.

429
00:17:40.460 --> 00:17:42.220
 It must feel really well.

430
00:17:42.220 --> 00:17:43.080
 It's really nice.

431
00:17:43.080 --> 00:17:46.500
 I guess no matter what the size, I'd say go.

432
00:17:46.500 --> 00:17:47.200
 Yeah.

433
00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:56.660
 Even if it doesn't really seem like your thing, go to be there with other people.

434
00:17:56.660 --> 00:17:59.240
 Okay.

435
00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:00.740
 I guess there's strength in numbers.

436
00:18:00.740 --> 00:18:03.840
 Well, why haven't you taken me to Oklahoma City yet?

437
00:18:03.840 --> 00:18:06.580
 I'm not laughing.

438
00:18:06.580 --> 00:18:08.360
 I want to know why we haven't gone yet.

439
00:18:08.360 --> 00:18:12.440
 I'd like to go down there and see it.

440
00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:14.160
 All right.

441
00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:16.860
 Can I go to pride alone?

442
00:18:16.860 --> 00:18:18.120
 Of course.

443
00:18:18.120 --> 00:18:20.040
 Of course, yes.

444
00:18:20.040 --> 00:18:25.520
 I would say if you go to pride alone,

445
00:18:25.520 --> 00:18:28.520
 you probably will meet...

446
00:18:28.520 --> 00:18:31.720
 And make new friends and never go alone again.

447
00:18:31.720 --> 00:18:32.460
 Mm-hmm.

448
00:18:32.460 --> 00:18:34.480
 Well, I would hope so.

449
00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:36.400
 Mm-hmm.

450
00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:38.440
 So, yeah.

451
00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:40.000
 Yeah, you can make friends there.

452
00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:42.360
 Everyone's very friendly to the pride events that I've been to.

453
00:18:42.360 --> 00:18:45.240
 So, it's like you said, strength in numbers.

454
00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:45.780
 Mm-hmm.

455
00:18:45.780 --> 00:18:48.140
 So, yeah, things are coming.

456
00:18:48.140 --> 00:18:54.760
 There is a very, not only supportive, but very empowering feeling.

457
00:18:54.760 --> 00:18:55.800
 Mm-hmm.

458
00:18:55.800 --> 00:18:57.300
 Yeah.

459
00:18:57.300 --> 00:18:59.540
 I definitely agree.

460
00:18:59.540 --> 00:19:04.060
 Can I bring my family members to pride?

461
00:19:04.060 --> 00:19:05.040
 Of course.

462
00:19:05.040 --> 00:19:05.800
 Yes.

463
00:19:05.800 --> 00:19:07.640
 Yeah.

464
00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:09.580
 Just don't go to the San Francisco ones.

465
00:19:09.580 --> 00:19:10.400
 Just don't go to the bars.

466
00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:11.100
 Yeah.

467
00:19:11.100 --> 00:19:14.980
 But, yes, of course you can bring your family members to pride.

468
00:19:14.980 --> 00:19:16.580
 I recommend it.

469
00:19:16.580 --> 00:19:23.940
 And in cities of our size and larger, there's a lot of different pride events.

470
00:19:23.940 --> 00:19:26.580
 There's not just the parade and the festival.

471
00:19:26.580 --> 00:19:27.100
 Mm-hmm.

472
00:19:27.100 --> 00:19:32.220
 Cities have movie festivals.

473
00:19:32.220 --> 00:19:33.020
 Mm-hmm.

474
00:19:33.020 --> 00:19:35.200
 Rodeo.

475
00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:36.760
 Okay, rodeo.

476
00:19:36.760 --> 00:19:37.300
 Mm-hmm.

477
00:19:37.300 --> 00:19:37.660
 Okay.

478
00:19:37.660 --> 00:19:40.140
 All kinds of things.

479
00:19:40.140 --> 00:19:41.800
 Okay.

480
00:19:41.800 --> 00:19:42.760
 Yeah.

481
00:19:42.760 --> 00:19:45.460
 I'm trying to think what else they have.

482
00:19:45.460 --> 00:19:47.880
 Just all sorts of stuff.

483
00:19:47.880 --> 00:19:52.380
 Last year, they had pride at the zoo.

484
00:19:52.380 --> 00:19:53.620
 Mm-hmm.

485
00:19:53.620 --> 00:19:55.400
 They had pride at the art museum.

486
00:19:55.400 --> 00:19:56.020
 Yeah.

487
00:19:56.020 --> 00:19:58.300
 All over town

488
00:19:58.300 --> 00:19:59.100
 The library

489
00:19:59.100 --> 00:20:00.220
 Yeah, that's true

490
00:20:00.220 --> 00:20:04.420
 I don't think there's quite as many of those this year

491
00:20:04.420 --> 00:20:06.700
 Because of DEI

492
00:20:06.700 --> 00:20:07.760
 Probably

493
00:20:07.760 --> 00:20:10.100
 I know that

494
00:20:10.100 --> 00:20:12.800
 A lot of corporate sponsors did not

495
00:20:12.800 --> 00:20:14.300
 Step up this year

496
00:20:14.300 --> 00:20:15.440
 That's too bad

497
00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:17.600
 Including the company that I work for

498
00:20:17.600 --> 00:20:19.720
 Yeah, I think a lot of people did

499
00:20:19.720 --> 00:20:21.900
 A lot of people didn't step up

500
00:20:21.900 --> 00:20:22.740
 They don't have to

501
00:20:22.740 --> 00:20:25.020
 So that's too bad

502
00:20:25.020 --> 00:20:27.480
 Definitely go to your pride this year

503
00:20:27.480 --> 00:20:29.340
 And go to the festival and pay your

504
00:20:29.340 --> 00:20:30.400
 Ten bucks or whatever

505
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:33.740
 Because they're not getting that money from corporate sponsors

506
00:20:33.740 --> 00:20:35.480
 This year like they have in the past

507
00:20:35.480 --> 00:20:37.880
 And

508
00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:39.800
 Target

509
00:20:39.800 --> 00:20:41.660
 Has always been supportive

510
00:20:41.660 --> 00:20:43.180
 Of gay rights

511
00:20:43.180 --> 00:20:45.540
 They always have a pride collection every year

512
00:20:45.540 --> 00:20:47.640
 Of merchandise that you can buy

513
00:20:47.640 --> 00:20:49.640
 And this year

514
00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:50.740
 They're not

515
00:20:50.740 --> 00:20:53.940
 Supporting any cities anywhere

516
00:20:53.940 --> 00:20:55.000
 Yeah

517
00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:57.360
 Yet they still want us to buy their pride collection

518
00:20:57.360 --> 00:20:58.540
 Oh yeah of course

519
00:20:58.540 --> 00:21:00.400
 And not

520
00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:01.960
 No not this year

521
00:21:01.960 --> 00:21:03.320
 Really well good

522
00:21:03.320 --> 00:21:06.720
 Well, I thought they didn't even come out

523
00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:07.840
 With a pride collection this year

524
00:21:07.840 --> 00:21:09.220
 Yeah, they did

525
00:21:09.220 --> 00:21:11.460
 I think you can see it online

526
00:21:11.460 --> 00:21:13.900
 They probably don't have it at any of the stores

527
00:21:13.900 --> 00:21:15.280
 Yeah, probably not

528
00:21:15.280 --> 00:21:18.860
 Thinking I'll just keep my money

529
00:21:18.860 --> 00:21:21.720
 Alright

530
00:21:21.720 --> 00:21:23.640
 So where are we at now

531
00:21:23.640 --> 00:21:24.980
 Are there traditions

532
00:21:24.980 --> 00:21:26.340
 I should be aware of

533
00:21:26.340 --> 00:21:28.980
 I don't know of any traditions

534
00:21:28.980 --> 00:21:31.520
 I'm trying to think

535
00:21:31.520 --> 00:21:32.260
 At the festivals

536
00:21:32.260 --> 00:21:33.980
 There's usually

537
00:21:33.980 --> 00:21:35.900
 Lots of drag queens

538
00:21:35.900 --> 00:21:38.200
 Performances

539
00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:40.640
 Various performances yes

540
00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:43.180
 You don't

541
00:21:43.180 --> 00:21:44.820
 The health department

542
00:21:44.820 --> 00:21:46.420
 Is almost always involved

543
00:21:46.420 --> 00:21:48.640
 We would see

544
00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:50.540
 Dr. Sweet once a year

545
00:21:50.540 --> 00:21:52.240
 She had her

546
00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:54.960
 AIDS outreach programs

547
00:21:54.960 --> 00:21:57.740
 I'm looking

548
00:21:57.740 --> 00:21:58.360
 Okay

549
00:21:58.360 --> 00:21:59.220
 And

550
00:21:59.220 --> 00:22:01.920
 I have seen

551
00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:03.900
 Line dancing

552
00:22:03.900 --> 00:22:04.940
 Oh okay

553
00:22:04.940 --> 00:22:08.000
 The drag kings

554
00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:09.560
 Yes, drag kings

555
00:22:09.560 --> 00:22:12.640
 We've never talked about drag kings before

556
00:22:12.640 --> 00:22:15.360
 Drag kings are women

557
00:22:15.360 --> 00:22:15.900
 Who

558
00:22:15.900 --> 00:22:18.700
 Dress up as men

559
00:22:18.700 --> 00:22:21.800
 Not necessarily transgendered

560
00:22:21.800 --> 00:22:22.080
 No

561
00:22:22.080 --> 00:22:22.920
 But it's the

562
00:22:22.920 --> 00:22:24.940
 It's the idea of a

563
00:22:24.940 --> 00:22:30.940
 like drag queens yeah, a drag queen that's good enough you wouldn't know that it wasn't a

564
00:22:30.940 --> 00:22:38.620
 woman well drag kings the same thing some of those guys are hot until you realize it's a lesbian

565
00:22:38.620 --> 00:22:46.820
 yep, so yeah there's not any traditions per se but I guess you know you can start your own if you want

566
00:22:46.820 --> 00:22:56.000
 yeah, so get a group together and say we're gonna go to I don't know get corn on the cob and yeah

567
00:22:56.000 --> 00:23:03.580
 at the pride festival yeah there's always food trucks and bar trucks stuff like that so

568
00:23:03.580 --> 00:23:10.060
 yes, bar trucks that is something I have only seen at pride I've never seen at any other kind

569
00:23:10.060 --> 00:23:15.900
 of festivals oh really huh have you well yeah just growing up unless it's like a wine festival

570
00:23:15.900 --> 00:23:16.800
 oh god

571
00:23:16.800 --> 00:23:22.040
 concerts and stuff like that so but yeah, I mean normally not at parades but I mean

572
00:23:22.040 --> 00:23:30.740
 this really isn't at a parade it's at the thereafter so but yeah so yeah there really

573
00:23:30.740 --> 00:23:36.620
 isn't I mean yeah, it's like I said just start your own traditions be proud so speaking of

574
00:23:36.620 --> 00:23:42.720
 the next question do I have to drink to celebrate pride no you do not yes you do

575
00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:46.000
 okay no you don't

576
00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:54.200
 uh every once in a while I hear somebody say I don't like to go to the bar because people pressure

577
00:23:54.200 --> 00:24:06.020
 me to drink I also hear like teenagers who say my friends pressure me to smoke okay I remember

578
00:24:06.020 --> 00:24:13.400
 as a teenager other teenagers would ask me if I wanted to smoke and I would simply say no

579
00:24:13.400 --> 00:24:15.800
 and that was always the end of it

580
00:24:15.800 --> 00:24:24.240
 nobody forced you yeah and I think it's the same way at bars I mean they have

581
00:24:24.240 --> 00:24:33.440
 coke at the fountain yeah okay you always have your own you know you leave you lead your

582
00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:39.380
 own life so you have the ability to say yes or no so some so don't stay home because you

583
00:24:39.380 --> 00:24:44.560
 think there might be some drinks there yeah you know I can get it through if some people

584
00:24:44.560 --> 00:24:45.780
 have a problem with it I don't know

585
00:24:45.780 --> 00:24:52.100
 they might want to avoid the bars then yes so, I can see that you know if you have a problem with

586
00:24:52.100 --> 00:24:58.080
 alcohol then avoid don't put yourself in those situations so I mean it's nothing I'm coming up

587
00:24:58.080 --> 00:25:04.200
 with new or anything like that it's just and I suppose those people can say I was pressured

588
00:25:04.200 --> 00:25:09.620
 yeah, but probably not much pressure yeah just don't put yourself in that situation

589
00:25:09.620 --> 00:25:14.600
 so, all right who belongs at pride you

590
00:25:14.600 --> 00:25:24.900
 me just me just you and me that's it everyone gay straight bi trans everybody now

591
00:25:24.900 --> 00:25:31.620
 during the age crisis I could not say that really because reverend Fred Phelps of the

592
00:25:31.620 --> 00:25:39.260
 Westboro Baptist church was not welcome at our pride oh I bet yeah well rightfully so

593
00:25:39.260 --> 00:25:44.580
 and I think in these republican-leaning

594
00:25:44.580 --> 00:25:54.720
 times we're going to have other groups similarly protesting at pride yeah typically when the

595
00:25:54.720 --> 00:26:02.340
 police find out about some counter-protest um they show up and rope them off into a separate

596
00:26:02.340 --> 00:26:14.560
 area to keep them from bothering people there are some ministries who the

597
00:26:14.560 --> 00:26:21.980
 preachers will go into the pride festival with their bible and start spouting stuff but

598
00:26:21.980 --> 00:26:30.420
 everybody just makes fun of them and points and laughs kind of makes a mockery of them good

599
00:26:30.420 --> 00:26:37.840
 they deserve that yeah what if I'm queer but I don't want to celebrate pride it's up to you

600
00:26:37.840 --> 00:26:44.280
 you don't have to if you don't want to you don't have to but I would urge you to yeah, it's in it's

601
00:26:44.280 --> 00:26:50.800
 something you need to experience for instance my doctor is gay never goes to the local pride he

602
00:26:50.800 --> 00:26:58.880
 will sometimes go up to Kansas City never and I have to keep saying there's power in

603
00:26:58.880 --> 00:27:06.260
 numbers uh if you if you don't do anything all year long just go to the parade yeah

604
00:27:06.260 --> 00:27:13.080
 show them be there yeah well, he's always been like that though hasn't he pretty much yeah

605
00:27:13.080 --> 00:27:18.260
 so, some people just don't like the crowds and stuff like that but

606
00:27:18.260 --> 00:27:24.100
 teach them yeah, I guess like you said there's power in numbers and it is a good feeling and

607
00:27:24.100 --> 00:27:31.640
 at the parade I mean you can walk a block away and get out of the crowd yeah just because you're

608
00:27:31.640 --> 00:27:37.720
 at the parade doesn't mean you're necessarily gay so you know you don't have to worry about that

609
00:27:37.720 --> 00:27:43.040
 yeah, all right is that all we got today that's all

610
00:27:43.040 --> 00:27:49.840
 Do you have a joke for us yes okay what is it what does my favorite gay pride button say

611
00:27:49.840 --> 00:27:53.920
 and I know you know the answer but just pretend like you don't

612
00:27:53.920 --> 00:28:00.140
 I don't know if you don't actually know I think I do but I'm not going to ruin it for you

613
00:28:00.140 --> 00:28:04.160
 it says if men were meant to be fucked they'd have a hole in their ass

614
00:28:04.160 --> 00:28:09.460
 so, all men are meant to be fucked

615
00:28:09.460 --> 00:28:11.920
 all right

616
00:28:11.920 --> 00:28:13.740
 smart ass

617
00:28:13.740 --> 00:28:16.160
 all right we're done

618
00:28:16.160 --> 00:28:20.860
 that well that was my best-selling button when I did buttons at pride festival

619
00:28:20.860 --> 00:28:25.420
 how was it okay yeah you used to sell quite a bit of buttons didn't you

620
00:28:25.420 --> 00:28:26.980
