We’ve been dangling off the fire escapes of Christopher Street to watch the Gay Pride Parade for, oh, 19 years! And the neighbors have been doing it for the full 40 years since the original gay riot. But for some reason this year, the NYPD has hung flyers up and down the block, ‘recommending’ we all not do this.

Okay, so it is kinda dangerous – I’ve seen beer bottles and such fall on the crowd, and I guess some drunk queen could slip and tumble off. But it’s more like the ‘Running Of The Bulls’ in Pamplona – stupid, dangerous, and a great tradition!

Either way, the NYPD should really proof read these things before putting them out. Really.

1.  ALL CAPS!!!?

2. WEEKENDS should have an apostrophe

3. The second paragraph is a horribly mangled run on sentence.

4. Should say, ” IN THE PAST A LARGE NUMBER…”

5. The whole manages to avoid the words Gay, Lesbian, or LGBT.

Finally, isn’t this really a FDNY matter?
