I just found OutSports.com's 2008 Olympic Blog and was just catching up and came across an article at Popnography with the funniest blurb.

> After making a spirited defense that Men's Synchro diving is not super gay, the Chinese men's springboard team proved us wrong by totally fagging out after winning the 10m event yesterday. Lin Yue and Huo Liang, seen above, got emotional after nabbing the gold and, well, you have eyes, don't you? We were all ready to defend the cutaways to the divers in the shower (the water keeps them warm!) and make another stab at selling you on the sport of it all, but while we support hot dudes in Speedos holding each other in any context, we're not going to insult you by trying to say it isn't anything other than super-duper gay with sprinkles on top.

Ha!

EVENT: Treasure Coast Pride, Port St. Lucie

Last Sunday, I went with a couple guys to the Treasure Coast Pride event down in Port St. Lucie. The event ran from noon til 6pm, but we planned on getting there around 1:30pm and staying until 3:30pm.

The drive down was pretty easy. And I wish I got a picture of it, but we saw a truck with children toys and such overflowing in trunk but being held down by strings of Christmas lights (HA!).

When we got to the South County Regional Stadium (Thanks Cindy for directions), we saw rainbow banners, lines of booths, and a stage at the far end.

Long story short (since I'm behind on my blog entries), there wasn't so much to do there (one quick go around was enough for me), but eventually the guys that I was with wanted to go to the local gay bar afterwards, so I found/had-to-find another ride back to Melbourne (kid-hostage all over again).

One of the TLR guys offered to take me back to town, but I'd have to wait until they packed up the booth and all... so staying later than planned/expected. I was bummed that I wasn't going to get anything accomplished once I got home, but still I found some good in it: I got to spend time with Melbourne's gorgeous power couple, and on the car-ride back to town, I got to learn more about someone I may not have otherwise (interesting).
Anyways, so that was TC pride - a different flavor from Orlando's event. At least here, I scored some free hugs.
