I Nearly Died at the Royals Parade Hate is a “strong” word, used to describe the things you despise the most. What do I hate? Baseball. I absolutely despise baseball; the sport irks my soul, so considering this, I don’t know what convinced me to go to the Kansas City Royals victory parade. Maybe it was the fact that I’d get to support the city I’ve lived in and loved for so many years, or maybe it was to be a part of the “cool crowd,” either way, going to the parade was one of the most traumatizing

Dear, Every year millions of American families sit down together on the fourth Thursday of November to celebrate Thanksgiving. Most of those Thanksgiving dinners include at least one turkey. Roast turkey with all the trimmings has become the Thanks Giving fare. We all look forward to warm times with our family and friends and an incredibly large satisfying meal.

Unionist paramilitary members also be targeted as part of the interment process and a ban on all parades should be imposed so that the introduction of internment would not be seen as only targeting the Catholic population.

Imagine your parents not loving you. Imagine the people that were supposed to provide for you, kicking you out onto the street to fend for yourself. Imagine your friends being too disgusted to talk to you. Imagine living your life constantly afraid. Imagine being terrified of the police, people that were supposed to protect you. Then you’ll know what it’s like to be someone like me. By someone like me, I mean homosexual. That might not sound that bad to you, but in New York City, 1960, it was one

The Rose Parade is a beloved American New Year’s tradition that has enchanted me for as long as I can remember. As a first generation immigrant who traveled six thousand miles to start a new life, I never dreamed that I would have the chance to participate in such an incredible tradition.

The opportunity to be a part of the Rose Parade with an organization that meant so much to me remains one of my most memorable life

When it comes to celebrating, the LGBTQ+ community really loves to celebrate. Even though most of these celebrations are hugely stereotypical amongst themselves. In these events, otherwise known as Pride Parades, many queers can be seen in a street parade in many different outfits.

loved was watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Just for fun I have some of these parades tapped on video so I can get to see them if I want.
