Anyone do a marriage camp where you can have any kind of marriage you want including marrying your dog (the fundies big fear being if the gays can get married, then marrying your dog is only a short distance away).

Re: Queer take on "The American Dream"
Wed, January 23, 2008 - 10:20 AMOur group from Seattle is bouncing around the idea of a breakfast camp, where the great American Dream is Bacon \ Eggs \ Toast for breakfast. That in place we can use all kinds of pig motifs to support the bacon aspect and our tag line will be something like "men are pigs -- eat more bacon"

Thu, January 24, 2008 - 7:15 AMI am delighted with the theme this year. I am liking how people are so pissed off they are being creative with out even thinking about it, rather than trying. -

Hmnmm....it seems to me that "The American Dream" is closely tied to the idea of "The Nuclear Family".
Glow-in-the-dark queer couples anyone?

It's a hoax!!

Re: Queer take on "The American Dream"
Thu, March 13, 2008 - 11:14 AMOur theme for this year is "Our Gay American Dream" and we'll be planning and organizing the first ever Gay Pride Parade at BRC! On early wednesday morning, gathering every gay person in BRC to March on the Esplanade and Temple to show our spirit and community and how big we really are at Burning Man 2008!
Our Tribe will be up before the end of the week for more info. Moonbow CampTribe.
See you on the playa!

Re: Queer take on "The American Dream"
Mon, March 17, 2008 - 11:33 AMHmm...I hate to rain on your parade but strangely enough a playa pride parade doesn't generate much excitement to me. I think it's because there are so many other facets of being human that get celebrated on the playa -- evocative dreams, powerful visions, insane engineering, fun & furry craftmanship, etc, that simply celebrating our sexual attraction, per se, isn't that special.
I think that's why the Queer Prom was so much fun 2 years ago...it was basically a "pride" event, but it didn't try to take itself too seriously and it was a gathering, instead of a demonstration.
Are you dead-set on a pride parade, or are you open to alternatives?

Re: Queer take on "The American Dream"
Mon, March 17, 2008 - 12:17 PMThe World Naked Bike ride is Wednesday morning (Burn-week) around 11 am, meeting at the Man and roaming around the Playa Bar/Camp hopping and is the closest thing to a Pride Parade I've experienced on the Playa. Most of the Guys are queer and Comfort and Joy tends to be my favorite stop along the way. A hybrid of the two events could be... "Dreamy." Cheers Queers!

Re: Queer take on "The American Dream"
Mon, March 17, 2008 - 4:16 PMHmmm.... since americans are so sexually repressed, perhaps sex (of any kind) is part of the american dream...? A "sex" celebratory parade, or a "rainbow" parade that celebrates complete diversity (gay, straight, tranny, vanilla, etc) would be much more radically inclusive. Or a metrosexual workshop -- where we could all do a "queer eye for a straight guy or gal" would be lots of fun.
just some thoughts -

Re: Queer take on "The American Dream"
Wed, March 19, 2008 - 7:07 AMHA HA, metrosexual workshop, that almost sound like an Esplanade theme booth. Gasso?
I think I have met more straight playa swingers than any of my wildest fantasies in the outside world. -

I hear that! There was this one HOT "straight" couple that kept wandering into JiffyLube two years ago. I did my best to make them feel welcomed ;-)

Re: Queer take on "The American Dream"
Wed, March 19, 2008 - 4:35 PMIt's a go!
As in the American Dream were open to everyone, gay and straight who would want to express their freedom, friendship and support, especially playawear and creativity openly! Not really a political statement, but to Basically show BRC that were here and Queer! Let's get out of the closet tent and show them really something! See you at Moonbow Camp on Wednesday 27, 2008 at 830am to lineup and 9am to Parade! If you see us pass by, join in!
