Pride haiku
Chris Jensen - S.F. Gay Examiner
Just off a phone call with my friend Andy, who complained that (contrary to those who think that Pride gets more and more outrageous every year) the parade used to be far raunchier in the '80s. His summary of the dominant mantra of this weekend's SF Gay Pride:
"Get married! Adopt babies! Drink Skyy! Eat Altoids!"
Which inspired me to try my hand at a little haiku:
Dads with strollers
Eating Altoids, drinking Skyy:

Charo: A savvy blend of trashiness and talent
Chris Jensen - S.F. Gay Examiner
Charo—one of the celebrity grand marshals in this year's Pride parade—gave a concert on Sunday night at The Herbst, and I've decided that she's either very savvy or very crazy. Or both.
"You're probably wondering, 'How old is that... Read More

Too proud?: A debate on Gay Pride
Chris Jensen - S.F. Gay Examiner
So it seems that my seemingly innocuous Pride week calendar stoked a bit of a debate over at a blog called Bookworm Room. (This is a long post, but I think you'll find the back-and-forth worthwhile.) From Bookworm's post:I’m quite libertarian... Read More
