June is LGBT Pride Month!

Hey people!

     So today is June 1st, and it's the start of Pride month. June is the month where all the big national Pride parades and conventions crop up. The one here in Philadelphia is in ten days, and that's always a hoot. I do have plans to go to it, and I will make sure I get some video and pictures to share.
     I'm sure the people who've read this before or have been checking out the blog have have noticed that the way it looks is really, really different. One of the big issues that the bisexual community has going on with Pride is that we don't have a lot of presence at gay pride parades. Usually in Philly the only representation we get is Bi Unity . So...I want to put up this bi-inclusive rainbow because the bisexuals are the B in LGBT. We have our own thing, but it's part of something bigger. We're falling under the rainbow too.
     This month there are a lot of movies and documentaries about LGBT topics available On Demand and on Netflix. Some pretty cool stuff. The one I'm catching today is called "Outrage", and it focuses on closeted gay politicians that publicly speak against equal rights for the gays. Hypocrisy and self-hate on parade!
