38th Gay Pride Parade Rules Fifth Avenue
Yesterday was the 38th Annual Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride March, and thousands of people participated - from shimmying and showing off their outrageous costumes to waving gay pride flags and hollering their support. The grand marshals of the parade were religious leaders Rabbi Sharon Kleinbaum and Reverend Dr. Troy Perry; Kleinbaum said, "We stand for a progressive religious voice. Those who use religion to advocate an anti-gay agenda I believe are blaspheming God’s name.”
Bless Your Bike
Tomorrow, at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, is the 7th Annual Blessing of the Bikes. The The Very Reverend Dr James Kowalski will wish bikers from all walks of life - messenger, commuting, kids, you name it - a safe biking season. What's awesome is that bikers get to bring their bikes inside.
