Gay Pride Pirates!

By Andrew Belonsky August 4, 2008 at 11:08am

Gangs of floating homos invaded Amsterdam’s famed canals for the gay pride drift this weekend:

Organisers of Amsterdam’s 13th annual Gay Pride festival which ended on Sunday said the annual canal parade on Saturday drew a record crowd of more than 500,000… According to the paper, “80 boats full of partying homosexuals” took part, including a police boat and a government boat…

Uniformed seamen also took part, a first.

Should straight acts with no history of LGBTQ+ advocacy headline Pride events?

The Wild West called and Pedro Almodóvar answered

Zooey Zephyr was silenced for speaking out, and became a political star in the process
