Gay Pride, Midwest style

The presence of so many gay tourists in town for the Pride Parade has thrown off both my gaydar and my touristdar.

You're a stone butch ... with a PERM?

Wow, that guy with the puffy white sneakers has a colored hankie in the back pocket of his pleated Dockers khaki shorts.

Also in the West Village, I saw a lot of makeup-free, camo-tank-top wearing but still kind of adorable twenty-year old white girls with camping-style backpacks holding hands. Reminded me of Dartmouth.
