It's Gay Pride Week here in this anonymous city in which I live (for the sake of this blog, we'll call this city "Cupidia"). There's a massive gay population here in Cupidia - in fact, the gay neighborhood (for the sake of this blog, we'll call this area the "Gayborhood") has a level of prominence and mainstream acceptance that it appears on government maps and tourist brochures. One of the many, many large events in this celebration of gayness is the Gay Pride Parade, featuring the kind of insane costumes, over-the top camp, and embodiments of physical perfection that you would expect from these festivities. The last little bit has always bugged me a little - I can understand why the gay community would want to put their best foot forward and show off the hottest guys and gals that money can buy, but where are the plump gay guys (and gals)? I refuse to believe that every gay man on this planet looks like a model for Abercrombie and Fitch.
