PORTLAND PRIDE, 2010: That's what it felt like this weekend as Portland celebrated its ass off (literally) in celebration of gay, lesbian, bi, trans (and whatever else fits into the queer category) pride. Now some of the following photos may not exactly be safe for work, so browse with a bit of an eye on who might be looking over your shoulder. And I will do my best to do a little bit of commentary on each of the events. But, frankly, I know that you're here to look at all the cute boys, girls and "girls" who filled our streets to the rim over the weekend. And, oh yes, Amanda Lepore. Man, it was an amazing weekend.

POISON'S PRE-PRIDE PARADE PARTY (8:30-11 am, Sunday, June 20): Poison Water's hosted the second annual Pre-Pride Parade Party on the second floor of The Original Dinerant with complimentary Voodoo Doughnuts, coffee and plenty of big wet kisses to a crowd of pre-funk-ing parade-goers including the Pride Grand Marshall Darcelle XV, who was bright-eyed and bushy-tailed (see above, left, with Poison and Cupcake Jones Lisa Watson) for such an early morning.
