Drink one up for me on July 4th, Fin, and make sure to tell yourself your celebration is completely different.

A group of people celebrating their history.

The thread is about gay people, not race.

Harrison and I were talking about "X" Appreciation month. Not really race related. When you chime in with your drivel.
