Title: Stockholm Pride 2011
Post by: Monika on August 03, 2011, 10:10:06 am
I´m gearing up for traveling to Stockholm this week end to walk in the Stockholm Pride 2011 parade.
The festival is the biggest of its kind in the Nordic countries and is an annual event. It runs for a week and each year is wrapped up with a big parade through central Stockholm.

Here is the official Stockholm Pride 2001 anthem: Straight up - Show the World Tonight

But Lee thinks that´s a longhorn, though, so someone else have to stand up for the gay antelopes I´m afraid

Pronghorn, not longhorn. Even though they are called Pronghorn Antelope, they aren't antelopes in the zoological sense, meaning they are not close relatives of the Asian and African antelopes. Different zoological families.
There are lots of Pronghorns in WY.
