FOF #1405 – The Grinch Who Stole Gay Pride

Spirits were high at Pride celebrations across the country this past weekend due to the landmark passing of the Marriage Equality Act in New York, granting same-sex couples full marriage benefits. But even here in Chicago, where vandals slashed the tires on 51 floats scheduled to be in the Pride Parade, the mood was still incredible.

Despite the lack of floats advertising the latest cough syrup and mortgage refinancing services, the parade rolled right along and everyone once again discovered the true meaning of Pride. Stupid haters! Everyone knows if you want to stop any celebration, cut off the supply of booze.

Joining us today for a live music session are the hunky and delicious Jeremiah Clark and his pal Brandon Anderson who just wrapped up a 20 city tour across the country.

Listen as we talk with Brandon about lost love and Jeremiah tells us about his kooky southern mom Terry who named her dog Cooter.

Plus the hot news:
