Pride Parade

[Stormy]

I watched the DC Pride Parade on Saturday and I was surprised at how long the parade lasted.  Participants included elementary schools, every progressive church, every multinational corporation interested in making a buck on us.  
I guess it’s progress that everyone wants to participate in the parade but in “my day” we had scantily clad men, drag queens, the porn stars, local politicians, and leading the parade the dykes on bikes   And we liked it!

Unfortunately, another parade in the area didn't go as smoothly:

Several people were injured after a “possible chemical agent” was released during the Baltimore Pride parade Saturday evening, according to the Baltimore Police Department.

Police said that a little after 8:30 p.m., attendees informed officers stationed at the parade that a chemical agent — potentially mace, hair spray or something else — was released into the crowd. Police confirmed it was not released by law enforcement.

Fireworks were also set off at the event, which police said caused a large crowd to flee, injuring several people. Police did not specify whether all the injuries were caused by the stampede or the chemical agent.

Fire officials treated individuals on the scene, and the event was shut down.

Police have not yet confirmed the type of chemical agent released. They said they don’t have information at this time to conclude that this was a targeted attack.

I wonder if this related to the Government warnings about Pride parades being attacked.

Actor  Kirk Cameron is not a fan of pride events. At all.
