I will not be see- ing any of you at the parade. This year, I shall opt out and leave the opportunity open to our many phine photographers to cover the chaos. Let this super-sized issue be mute testimony to my contribution to Gay Pride jollification in Chicago. Do you feel jollified? See, told ya.

See a gallery show, rock out to some queer punk, laugh your gay ass off at some queer comedy, etc. Hopefully this Pride issue celebrating local queer creative types will nudge you firmly in that direction.
