Amy recounts this year’s Pride Parade in Chicago. The crowds were bigger, the vandals were out to ruin our floats and what will be done in future parades to help with crowd control. Pride weekend started off with a BANG in New York when they signed Marriage Equality legislation. What is going on with President Obama and his 1996 survey regarding Same Sex Marriage? Amy also lets us know about future guests on the Queercast. Have a Happy July 4th!
