A.M ANNOYANCE - Pride Goeth Before A Party

by Mark Jabo

Trying to figure out how to demonstrate your commitment to individual rights can be downright frustrating.

Take, for example, the Gay Pride Parade in New York City this weekend.

Sure, as a thinking heterosexual you’d like to support your gay friends, but if you wear a rainbow T-shirt, it can send out the wrong signal.

Ooooh, awkward.

If you just wear a regular T-shirt, like one of those “I’m With Stupid” shirts, you risk coming off as uncool, or worse … a tourist.

So, how can you show support to all your friends who get you the really great theater tickets and still be hip enough to meet them after the parade for a drink?

Until now, it was virtually impossible.

But thanks to the folks at Threadless.com, this year you can flaunt (it is a gay parade, after all) your opposite-sex-loving fabulousness and show your solidarity for everyone’s right to their own sexual preference.

At the same time, you can assert your right to attend the kick-ass dance party of your choice after the parade with the coolest T-shirt we’ve seen in quite some time:

This shirt may be so intelligent only gay people get it.

If you feel like this Gay Pride shirt is too subtle, you can always go with one of the following shirts from LMNO Tees or Cafe Press.

Choose any shirt you like … because freedom of choice is pretty much what this weekend’s all about.
