The list of gay pride events around the world this season suggests that gay life is essentially concrete and local. You don't need a wide gay circle to know people who've taken a fist up their ass, dripped wax on a trick, love eating out assholes, or otherwise done things that nobody ever gave them permission to. These are experiences relatively ordinary among gay men but still shocking in the world beyond. Gay pride day happens in hundreds of places around the world where these networks of subversive sensibility quietly exist. See you at the parade!
