ATTENDING MY FIRST PRIDE OUT OF NEW YORK

Yesterday I had the honor of traveling to Philly's Black Gay Pride with my friend Maurice Runae, and it was a fun event. I had always wanted to attend a Black Gay Pride outside of New York and I was grateful to do so.
After taking the China Town bus, to Philly, we walked to Club Shampoo, and saw alot of people dancing to Hip-Hop, Dance and R&B music (they only played one Beyonce song,which was cool. I do like her music, but I'm glad they didn't play her non-stop). While Maurice was sitting down and networking, I bumped into sexy rapper Bry'Nt, who greeted me with a pound and hug and rocked the crowd along with Miss Philly Pride 2009, singer Khalif, and other performers, who shared their God-given talents (That's right!! God created everybody and those who don't like Gays, Fuck you! I just had a Rick James moment. He was very Gay friendly.)
What I loved about the event was how they gave allow Gays Rappers and singers a place to perform, which shows that they acknowledge and respect those who performs other genres of music besides House and Club music. Hopefully other cities will follow suit and start to book and hire Openly Gay Rappers and singers to perform at their events to show diversity in the community.
