Pride Procession |
3712 North Broadway-PMB 544 Chicago, IL 60613 United States +1 773 348 8243 http://www.chicagopridecalenda... pridechgo@aol.com |
The annual Pride Parade commemorates the Stonewall riots, and celebrates the beginning of the gay rights movement. Today, you are just as likely to see politicians, radio personalities and corporate sponsors march in the parade as you are to see drag queens, muscle boys and leather daddies. Many watching the parade seem oblivious to the political overtones of the event, though. For them, it is simply a chance to party, an opportunity to see the scene and be seen. A dance at the lakefront follows the parade. Review © 2007, Wcities |
