This year’s was the best Pride Week we’ve had in years. All the events were really fun, especially Julie Goldman and the then the drag show Saturday night, which concluded Pride Week. My parents and little sister Ashley came to the show, too. Ash photographed the show while I filmed it. Below is the drag show in its entirety:
Unfortunately, early on in Pride Week some UMaine students decided to vandalize the Pride Flag pole and steal the pride flag. As a result, we held a pride flag raising “part II” on Wednesday, with a turnout of over 200 people! It was a great way for our community to come together and reaffirm our respect. Nonetheless, another attempt was made to steal the flag the next night. However, just yesterday I learned that the people responsible have been caught, and they may be charged with hate crimes. I’m sure more will be published once police release their names and more information. Below are two stories recently reported concerning the theft of the pride flag:
Today is Earth Day, and per tradition, a group of UMaine students always gets naked, paints themselves in green paint, and rides around campus on bicycles. Some pics for your enjoyment 🙂
