9:39 pm - 06/19/2010





ATHENS, GREECE:










Participants of the Athens Gay Pride parade wave a giant rainbow flag during their annual march in the city's center on June 3, 2010. Three thousand Greek gays and lesbians marched through the centre of Athens on today to demonstrate gay pride and protest against discrimination.

From a Walk With Pride photographer:
This woman showed up to share her feelings on Jesus. One of the many things I have come to admire about the LGBT communities that I’ve met is their sense of humor. She isn’t yelled at, or pushed away. Instead, she is invited up on one of the floats and spends the entire Pride trying to preach to the beats of Lady Gaga and Madonna.










TEL AVIV, ISRAEL:

Israeli drag queens participate in the annual Gay Pride parade in Tel Aviv on June 11, 2010, as thousands turned out for the city's gay festival.

Oh, my bad -- the Pride Taiwan photos are from 2009 because the annual celebrations there dont occur until October.

"Gays, lesbians, transgenders" <— what

Awesome photos, though.

Holy shit. Photojournalism captions bring the fail, once again.


(No, seriously...these agencies...do they not use fucking copy editors?)

That's a lovely Star of David he has there. Yep, so lovely. Gorgeous. >_>

In before support Israeli military actions because they're friendly to the gays. (I can't find the article, anyone happen to have it per chance?)

HAY! THERE IS SOMEONE IN GREECE WEARING A CUPCAKE ROYALE PAIR OF UNDERPANTS!!! WEEEEEEE!

Also? Lady wearily looking out her window at the parade? I'm there with you ma'am. That's why I moved out of my old house. A weekend of broken glass on my stoop, people making out on my car, being rowdy made me so disappointed.
[info]ladypolitik 20th-Jun-2010 02:03 am (UTC)
Omg. It sounded like you lived in a college town.
[info]lisaee 20th-Jun-2010 02:02 am (UTC)
Beautiful photos!

Ugh, I'm on holiday during Pride Week this year. It's frustrating, because I'd love to go. It pissed down with rain last year, and though we stuck it out, it just wasn't as fun. Guess I'll have to make do with Winter Pride.
[info]notfoundyet 20th-Jun-2010 02:10 am (UTC)
Love this post! Awaiting the next one :D
[info]fofomazuzu 20th-Jun-2010 02:10 am (UTC)


What is that (other than the obvious). Is it a dildo or a fleshlight?
[info]ladypolitik 20th-Jun-2010 02:14 am (UTC)
Definitely a dildo; fleshlights only do mouth, vaginal, and anal orifices, not fully modeled penises.
[info]ubiquitous_a 20th-Jun-2010 02:19 am (UTC)
Dude, I'm a straight woman, but this picspam makes me SO happy. I so adore the idea of people just being able to be who they are....be themselves. It makes me happy.

I just like the idea of general harmony where people can be who they are and love who they love. I don't see anything awful in conflict with that.

The girl with the "too cute to be straight" button is definitely living up to her button.
[info]cottoncandah 20th-Jun-2010 12:01 pm (UTC)
I want to get that button lol
[info]aurora_84 20th-Jun-2010 02:26 am (UTC)
Damn, girl!

IKR? So gorgeous
[info]carolpent 20th-Jun-2010 02:27 am (UTC)
Gah, these are so gorgeous...I especially like the one of the woman with the knitting needles in her hair.
[info]ubiquitous_a 20th-Jun-2010 02:36 am (UTC)
I agree....Knitters unite! :D
[info]schonste 20th-Jun-2010 02:35 am (UTC)

Go pride!
[info]karli_meaghan 20th-Jun-2010 02:51 am (UTC)
When is the Mexico Pride? I'm going there soon and I'd love to attend!

Also PUPPY!!!1! *squishes* Love how they invited the Jesus lady to be on the float.
[info]ladypolitik 20th-Jun-2010 08:00 pm (UTC)
Oh, I think it's more the case that *several* pride festivities take place throughout Mexico, rather than just one for the whole of Mexico; they usually happen by regions/states. For example, the pics I'll post later today will come from pride parties that occurred this weekend and 2 week ago in the regions of Guadalajara and Monterrey, respectively.

I dont know if there will be more Pride parades in other Mexican regions, but look into it!
