Straight people march in Pride Parades also.  In larger cities and college towns, there may be a Gay-Straight Alliance group and banner to march with.  There may also be a P-FLAG (Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) group marching in your town.

"Straights" have been marching in Gay Pride Parades since the very first one in New York City on "the last Sunday in June" in 1970, commemorating the one-year anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall Rebellion.

I believe that most cites with Gay Pride parades have them on "the last weekend in June" -- although they have been held on various Saturdays and Sundays throughout June, now that we have a "Gay Pride Month".  In fact, some cities such as Rochester, New York, have their Gay Pride Parade in July!? 

The main factor is that a city has a Gay Pride Parade and that as many people as possible march or at least attend as a spectator.

Julie, Brandon's sig line is a quote, and a great one I might add, from Donnie Darko. You should see it if you haven't. Jake is great in it.

Re: the Fans of Brokeback Mountain banner, totally awesome idea!!! "Brokies for Pride" would be a good one too.
The NYC Parade is so huge I wonder if it's got somethign like this. Maybe I can find out. too much organizing for ME to make happen in the next two weeks, but I'd do it for next year for sure.
