Queens Pride

This year, Mi Cariño and I decided that we would try to attend the "mini" prides that happen around the boroughs during the month of June, to make up for my missing last year's. The first Pride of the month is in Queens, so out we went!

It was a mixture of a day: a bit cloudy, a bit rainy, a bit sunny. Getting there wasn't too bad - Pride was in Jackson Heights, and we rode the R train. It's such an experience: Jackson Heights is such a Latino neighborhood, apparently unaccustomed to see "the gays" walking around. But walking around the gays did, and we mixed right in. As always, a lot of the stuff in the area catered mostly to men, but we were able to find some stuff that interested us, found out the names of possible clubs to go visit, and enjoyed the delicious food available. Really the only difference between this Pride and your regular NYC Street Fair was just the amount of men's chests one could see. We enjoyed having a delish Mozzarepa, corn on the cob, fresh watermelon, while listening to lovely music.
