A chance for anyone who wants to just to parade through the streets in a celebration of being alive and being human, with no lines drawn between black and white, male and female, straight and gay. Ideal forum for meeting like-minded individuals who care more about individuals than group identities.-- Tabbyclaw, Apr 02 2003 Macy's Day Parade http://www.ny.com/h...giving/gallery.htmlThanksgiving is about as equal-opportunity as it gets. Unless you're a turkey. [DrCurry, Oct 04 2004, last modified Oct 05 2004] And for those of you who *really* don't like labels http://www.burningman.com/...there's Burning Man. [DrCurry, Oct 04 2004, last modified Oct 05 2004] Large-FIgured Pride Day http://www.halfbake...gured_20Pride_20DaySomething like this was suggested in the first annotation by [hippo] on this idea from two years ago.. [krelnik, Oct 04 2004, last modified Oct 05 2004] "I'm proud and I'm proud!"-- phoenix, Apr 02 2003 I love this! You would get good sponsorship for this sort of event. I'd attend!-- Pericles, Apr 02 2003 This is just a typical parade, isn't it?-- waugsqueke, Apr 02 2003 No. Shush. Zip it and sit. The coppers would be on you with water cannons and tear gas in a heartbeat. And rightly so. Indiscriminate pride, indeed.-- bungston, Apr 02 2003 STOP, ER, START, ER, START, ER, INDISCRIMINATION NOW!-- thumbwax, Apr 02 2003 I wanna carry a sign that reads 'Yippee!!!'-- sambwiches, Apr 02 2003 Baked, I believe - most big cities have some sort of general feel-good parade with no special distinctions involved. In NYC, it's the Thanksgiving Parade.-- DrCurry, Apr 02 2003 The only label I proudly wear says "Drip Dry Only".-- lostdog, Apr 02 2003 Maybe it should be scheduled in August, since Pride goes before a Fall.-- FarmerJohn, Apr 03 2003 //In New Orleans, Mardi Gras. In Germany, Karneval / Fasching. In San Francisco, Gay Pride Parade//In London, stay at home and grumble.-- hippo, Apr 03 2003 And then attacks Michael Parkinson. Though I'm not sure whether he'd be up for that.-- -alx, Apr 03 2003 I am a 'ordinary' person and have nothing to be proud of, so I like this idea because I have always wanted to parade but never had anything to parade about.-- Mr Risk, Apr 03 2003 I don't want to rain on your parade but...-- po, Apr 03 2003 ...they won't be taking any Risks.-- FarmerJohn, Apr 03 2003 I'm not very up on my religious studies but isn't 'Pride' one of the seven deadly sins? And wouldn't it therefore be anti-Christian to hold such a parade?-- DrBob, Apr 03 2003 [hippo] I just realized you suggested an idea very similar to this one in an annotation almost two years ago. See link.-- krelnik, Apr 10 2003 Well spotted [krelnik] - I had completely forgotten about that (Aug 13 2001 anno: "It might be better to have a catch-all "Pride Pride Parade". If you're proud of anything - anything at all - then you can show how proud you are")-- hippo, Apr 11 2003 How would we signal our pride of pride? All the good ribbon colors have been taken...-- robgraham2, Dec 08 2004 random, halfbakery
