Does anyone know if there is a Grand Rapids Pride happening in June? The website says that it is on June 18th but nothing else, no events or times. I pinning my hopes on the MI gaymo phone tree!
-
There is a Pride picnic on June 18th, it’s at Riverside Park just like last year. Last year there was a drag show and I dunno, some other entertainment. No parade or anything.
-
Do you think it’s worth going to? There’s no Pride anything happening up here and I want to take some young’ns from my LGBTQ group down there to experience it. I guess I’m asking what the vibe is, would young people enjoy it?
-
I don’t know, honestly last year it was pretty disappointing. There wasn’t much to do except drink and walk around and look at the vendors selling cheesy rainboware. The evenings get more fun with events at the gay bar and club but you couldn’t take young people there.
-
:( I hope this year is different. I’ve been in touch with the dudes putting it together and it looks like they have a decent line-up of queer musicians (have you heard of Nervous but Excited?) as well as drag shows. Thanks for the input, here’s hoping for a slightly less liquor-soaked WMI Pride this year!
-
I’ve never heard of Nervous but Excited, but that’s pretty much my life summed up in one phrase, so I’ll have to check them out.
Part of the problem is that last year I was newly out and self-conscious and didn’t know many people so maybe that’s why I didn’t like it so much.-
I know, the name is cute. And so are they! http://nervousbutexcited.com/

In the spirit of all things Michigan-y, I’ve decided to share this messenger bag I bought from a friend today: http://gonzoronin.tumblr.com/post/5488093084

Anyone in the UP? ANYONE WHO IS NOT A TREE OR A DEER.
No but really, I would hang out with a lesbogay tree at this point so it’s cool if you’re a tree.

I’m in TC, and it’s boooooring. I’m moving to Grand Rapids next spring, maybe that’ll be somewhat more exciting.
-
Holla, TC! But odds are we’ve dated the same person or have some other similar awkward connectedness. :/
-
I doubt it, I’m bi and have only dated 2 guys since I moved here 8 years ago. Apparently I don’t know where to pick up chicks. :V
-
I’m sorry, I sometimes forget that tone does not translate well on the internetz. I meant it mostly fecetiously because TC is so small and boring, etc, etc. And I don’t know where to pick up chicks either, I think all of the queer ladies up here are paired up and spending their nights at home watching Grey’s Anatomy.
-
Haha it’s cool, I figured you meant that as well. :)

Grand Rapids is probably slightly more exciting than TC, but more conservative too :(
-
Everyone keeps saying that, but TC only *looks* liberal from the outside. I worked at a food co-op that had some of the most sexist, racist and homophobic employees I’ve ever met (and I worked at a restaurant for 5 years before that, so that says something :p). I also volunteered w the Dems last election cycle and they lost to Republican…[Read more]
-
I concur, TC may be liberal in comparison to the terrifying Michigan Militia Nascar republicans that populate the surrounding 200 miles but that doesn’t make it a good place to be.

I live in TC!
-
Yay! Did you see all the hot air balloons by the Bay today? Pretty rad B)
-
Yes I did see them. Some of them flew right over my work. And I’m going downtown to watch the launch and return glow tonight. I hope to ride an air balloon one of these days.

I’m not living in Michigan now, but I grew up in Hastings and am around occasionally during the summer and winter.
