Comments
Note from the author: Oops. Sorry. It just now has occurred to me that I should have added a disclaimer to this article reading: While many of the Gay Pride Week Festival Activities are free and open to all members and ages of the public there are many affiliated events at nightclubs, bars, and other places where high possibilities exist of finding many people very scantily dressed, that would probably not be suitable for children and may not even allow access through the door unless proper ID is presented.
