I'm not sure you're wrong about the significance of the "political" in the Broadway march. For one thing, I'm pretty sure that its disorganizers are trying to avoid parade fees, as you suggest. But the character of the march will depend a lot on the "celebration" folks (to use the code word) and whether they respond to what kind of seems to be an invitation to join the Broadway event. Yeah, it happens on a Saturday evening -- important business hours for many of those outfits -- but maybe they'll still join in just to thumb noses at the SOP disorganizers of the 4th Ave. parade. Maybe.

holy shit is that a good read. If that'd been posted a little earlier it could have saved me from appearing dead wrong on the political thing.

Thanks for the too-generous hat-tip, Dan. Your great summary of this year's Prideful mess inspired us to wrack our brains a bit and remember some of the stuff that we had tried to forget about the history of this event. The memorial regurgitation should be the top post for a while since we're not all that prolific.
