Every year I seem to get into the same conversation about the Pride March here in New York City.  It’s always about the scantily clad boys, the music, the question of the point of the parade, the lament that a sense of urgency even today seems to be forgotten.  Here is a well written letter about these issues to the March Committee and a well written and thoughtful response.  I recommend checking it out, and asking yourself what Pride will mean for you this year.

Also, this year, the religious groups are at the front of the parade, and the Marshal is CBST’s (The NYC LGBT Synagogue) Rabbi Sharron Kleinbaum.  So there is an all around effort to bring out more off the diversity in the parade.
