You can't spell Greenbelt without GBLT(-:

And the above subject header is the slogan of the little GBLT Pride group that formed this summer in my little town of Greenbelt, the one thing this town needed to make it a completely good town to live in. Many of us call this town The People's Republic of Greenbelt because of the socialist underpinnings to the town, being one of the planned communities built under Roosevelt in the 1930's. They do a big Labor Day festival with rides, artery-clogging foods, and lots of bands--mostly local--but yesterday they had Herman's Hermits and I got to see "Henry VIII" performed live by the originals--are you jealous yet? They did put on a really fun show.

So today GreenBeLT Pride marched in Greenbelt's Labor Day Parade, and I have to say, we were just adorable. (-: I did a lot of organizing in the queer community in Chapel Hill back in the 80's, and have attended some of the events in the DC scene the past decade, but I got to say, this little town event was just the cutest.
