Welp, another Pride month is in the bag.
Over 3 million people packed the streets of New York City last weekend for one the largest Pride parades in the history of Pride parades and to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall uprising.
Tons of celebrities turned out for World Pride, including Lady Gaga, Andy Cohen, Donatella Versace, Cyndi Lauper, Whoopi Goldberg, and, oh yeah, Madonna, just to name a few.
Lots of other major cities had their Pride celebrations last weekend as well, including Chicago, San Francisco, and Seattle.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Now that Pride month is over, it’s time to get back to real life. But before that can happen, we’ve gotta deal with our Pride hangovers. And it looks like we’re not the only ones struggling this morning.
And now, the tweets…

50th anniversary of Stonewall and Gay Pride Celebration and the main topic is substance abuse. How far we’ve come.

Jesus H. Christ, we have been talking empowerment and fighting for our rights ALL OF JUNE. There’s DOZENS of articles you can read just on Queerty that celebrate and discuss our history in minute detail, but you can’t let there be one amusing article about the fact that yes after we march, we PARTY and some people get DRUNK and have to return to work in the morning!
You may have forgotten that STONEWALL was a CLUB run by the MAFIA that got raided in the wee small hours of the morning. Do you think those QUEENS were sober?? It could never happen today with people like you around telling people to live life they way you want it. Take it back for the trans, the drag and the party kids who really started this revolution though you marginalize them today.

Is it really hilarious? So much pride and self-respect to have… fine if you do party hard, but maybe not the best strategy to air it all out for those who seek fault.
jsmu
@ElPillo If YOU live your excuse for a ‘life’ worrying about what asinine, solipsistic, anal concern trolls think, that is YOUR PROBLEM, pal.
Kangol2
No hangovers here, but LGBTQIA Pride in NYC over the past month/last week was amazing!
Doug
Damn, I wish I could have been there!!
mpinmaui
All of these messages so negative. I’d like to see posts about positive memories of the 50th pride. What changed you forever? What made you appreciate pride from someone else’s perspective? We all choose our attitudes. Please look for the best in everyone – and post messages that mean something meaningful to someone else, instead of self-serving dissatisfaction(s) of others/one’s own experience. After all, our group is ALL ABOUT LOVE…. right?!!?
Mack
If you didn’t get enough of Pride, then come to Reno Nv July 27th that’s when we do our Pride. After everyone else has partied for the month of June, we start it again the end of July.
masterwill7
@Mack Or come to a real unique a huge gay pride, The Canal Parade in Amsterdam the first weekend of august! It’s worth it! 🙂 😉
whateverokok
Or do what the rest of the world does: stay indoors and let the idiots with the shame parade.
jsmu
@scotshot REALLY? You’re actually that f*cking anal, judgmental, p*ssy, and clueless a QUEEN? startenout READ you for the sh*t you are, schooled you, and left you in a heap of pretense and phony concern-troll excrement. Get used to that, because you’ll have nothing else the rest of your miserable life!
jsmu
@startenout YOU GO, GIRL. PREACH.

Yeah, nothing says “I’m proud of who I am and for surviving as a queer person” like drinking and drugging yourself into a stupor and f**king a bunch of people you won’t remember the next day.
Funny, when the straights get wasted or stoned out of their minds we don’t pretend they’re demonstrating pride in themselves.
