New York Pride :: 2008 Pier Dance

New York Pride :: Dance on the Pier
Given that this year’s Heritage of Pride (HOP) theme was live love be - and that its graphic was a psychedelic profusion of squiggles, spewing like spermatozoa from a rainbow fountain, was it any wonder that the Pier Dance featured raindrops and showers for the first hour? Oh, really, Mother Nature-as if that could stop a pierful of dancing queens. From the West Side Highway all the way out into the Hudson, we were a vast sea of rainbow beauty, dancing into the night. Which is saying something right there-given that Dance on the Pier is a tradition born out of a time when the LGBT community could barely congregate, let alone dance openly. So each year, we dance on the Pier-as a reminder of what was denied us in the past.
