Initially we hadn't noticed, but thanks to some commenters with smuttier minds than those of our own, we can now see that, indeed, this Lil' Wayne condom ad does seem to portray rough, interracial, gay sex. Thanks, guys.

Fewer and fewer of NYC's white, upper middle class gays are attending the city's wildly popular gay pride parade. Why? Well, it's getting a little too poor and a little too brown for the city's gay establishment. I mean, gross. Would you want to march in the middle of all that racial and economic diversity?

That’s sort of the catch. One queer journalist, Richard Goldstein, the former executive editor of The Village Voice, wonders if the trip through the Village has anything to do with the decline in the deep-pocketed New Yorker at the parade.

“White people say they experience the parade as being tired and corny,” said Mr. Goldstein. “They’ll say it’s unattractive to them. The reason it’s unattractive to them is because there are all these faces of people of color from all over the world.

“What happens is the parade gets blacker and blacker,” he said. “Fewer white people feel drawn to it. The result is, to be seen at the parade is a little déclassé.”

It's nice to know that some wealthy whites can set aside their differences in sexuality and bond over their shared desire to not interact with racial minorities.
