A'dam Gay Pride 2006

Just felt like sharing part of the craziness that's happening here in Amsterdam.

Please visit my blog for pictures and more.

 

Out of curiosity: how many people have been to such a gay pride, and what do people think about it?

I've never been before, but I want too....btw, I love this line from your blog....Interesting fact: by 2029 everyone will be gay, according to a reseach

I went to the Pride parade and festival in Houston this year. It worked out perfectly I'd JUST moved and gotten settled in when everything started happening. It was alota fun. I bet Amsterdam is a really cool place to live! I hope you have fun and be careful

I've been trying to find out where that research is, but there's nothing at all. It was reported in Winq (a gay-interest magazine in the Netherlands), and I didn't actually read it. Just saw a placard on the magazine's float yesterday (see pic).

 

Hmmm, I wonder how everyone being gay will affect oil consumption...

 

I don't actually live in A'dam, but The Hague, a bit to the south. A'dam is too touristy, crazy and smoky.

I guess I had a good time, since it was my first (sweet memories...). Really enjoyed the whole atmosphere, and how for the past three days people can be as open and proud as they want to be. Seeing rainbow flags, cross dressers and gay couples kissing openly on the streets was in a way 'comforting'.

But then again, I felt a little disappointed because of the amount of emphasis on sex, and sometimes outright provocative sexually-tinted behaviour I saw: as if sex is the only thing that defines us and differentiates us from the rest.
