GAY LIFE

There's much going on in San Francisco right now for Gay Pride Month. Imagine! Anyway, I got a chance to go to the Library yesterday (yes, the library, it's a wonderful place) and see an exhibit on the history and 25th anniversary of the Rainbow Pride Flag. They even had a viewing case on the current commercialization of the colors and flag. The most interesting piece of the display was the fact that originally each of the 8 color stripes were given a specific meaning and that nowadays during its mass production the end color-- pink-- is often left off. Their original meaning for the pink stripe- sexuality. Funny how mass commercialization and production has taken away our sexuality. Anyway, really interesting historical piece and I'm looking forward to viewing the other historical pieces that the local Historical Society has put together this week while I have the time.
