Open Mind - thanks for posting this. I hope your son has a great time.
I'm gay. I'm not a "gay scene" kind of guy though. I don't go to gay pubs, bars, etc. Not that I have anything against it at all, but my life centers around my family. I have young children so we'll be at home. Maybe when they are teenagers we can go. I really don't get any time away which I'm not complaining about at all.
But before having a family, I did go to Pride in SF, LA, Long Beach, Houston, NYC, Amsterdam, etc. Usually I went because friends were going and it was something to do. But it was fun. I do have to say that Amsterdam Pride was my favorite. The extremely hot motorcycle cops were there with their bikes, and would pose for pics with their arms around anyone who wanted to sit on their bikes.
