CT Pride
There’s a little controversy around this year’s Connecticut Pride celebration happening in Bushnell Park on June 30th. In the past, it’s been critiqued for being so commercial. This year, there is word of a pro-military theme. How do we reconcile something like the military, which creates violence, with a Pride celebration, which is (I thought) supposed to be protesting acts of violence?

A military theme? How bizarre!

This is a different organizing body than Pride celebrations in the past; there is another Pride fest slated for September, apparently, if it happens.
The address for this fest, 458 Wethersfield Avenue, Hartford, is the same as Chez Est - for what that’s worth….
A military theme might be appropriate for what may be a queer community coup d’etat!
