Jackie Warner’s Pride Pay Off?

jackiefinal.jpg
Bravo’s Jackie Warner may flaunt her faggotry on national television, but the Workout ring leader allegedly needs a little lubrication to get down with Gay Pride. The scamps over at LA Rag Mag claim Warner’s been paid $10,000 to appear in this weekend’s Los Angeles Pride parade:

It’s no secret that some famous gays get paid to ride on a float during the Los Angeles Pride Festival, but we were shocked to learn that Jackie Warner is getting paid $10,000 to ride on a float this Sunday for Pride.

Whatever, we’d totally accept ten grand to wave for a few hours. Warner’s obviously a brilliant business woman.

As a gay activist willing to do right by her queer peers?? Well, not so much…

[Update: The float in question's allegedly the NBC float. NBC Universal, of course, owns Bravo, the network for which Warner works (out).]

I’m assuming she’s contractually required to get paid whenever she promotes her program, which is how NBC Universal see the gay pride parade — an opportunity for niche marketing.

Its fucking disgusting that any Pride Organizers in ANY city would pay people to ride in their parade.

Another reason NOT to watch her show.

She drives me crazy. She is humorless and boring. I’m sure they could find a more entertaining lesbian to put on bravo.

I don’t know who she is. Regardless, “Jackie is getting paid” is a passive sentence. We don’t know *who* is paying her. It might by NBC/Bravo.

Not that I give a shit. Parades bore me, including Pride Parades.

She’s getting paid because her float is an ADVERTISEMENT. Do you think people in the Macy’s Day Parade do it out of the love of their hearts? Why should Gay Pride be any different? Its a float advertising NBC and Bravo television programs, NOT a political float. Start your crying and bitching when she demands a paycheck stepping foot onto the Stonewall Foundation float.

But companies pay TO be advertised, they don’t get paid. If the float was promoting the show, Bravo (not Jackie) would pay the LA Pride committee to advertise at the festival, just like ID Lube and Bud Light and all the other companies that make Pride possible. If anything, it seems to be the reverse–the LA Pride committee probably offered her a check in order to attract more of a turnout, just like they do with performers and celebrities who aren’t grand marshalling or volunteering to appear on behalf of a cause. Whatever, it’s business, just like the rest of Pride.
