pride

On Saturday, June 27  trans folks, dykes, queers and allies brought a radical and witty critique to Pride.  In the afternoon,  members of the trans community and cis-gendered allies gathered at Mueller Park in the Wedge for the third annual Trans March, then marched down the center of Lyndale Avenue to Loring Park.  The march grew to about a hundred people [revised count based ~150-200] as it progressed to sounds of  "Oppress us? Just try it!  Stonewall was a fucking riot!" and a soundtrack of Dirty Sanchez and Chumbawamba.

On June 28^th 2008, neo-Nazi groups aggressively attacked the first LGBTQ Pride march in Sofia, Bulgaria.
