As The
Advocate looks forward to Pride, we're
putting a call out to you. This year, we want to hear about
your hometown. Tell us what you love and what you wish
you could change. Describe where you go to wander and
where you wouldn't be caught after dark. Share
your favorite place to get a beer with friends, have a
romantic dinner for two, or escape from the world for a
little while. We want to hear about the people you
meet and the vibe that greets you when you walk down
the street. Anything goes.
What's
this all about? We want to bring America's LGBT
people closer together. How many times have we
separated ourselves according to where we live? Coasts
versus heartland, big city versus small town, gay ghetto
versus mainstream suburb -- our life experiences reflect the
places where we put down roots. So...what makes you
proud about your hometown? Tell us -- and tell the
world.
