Forget celebrities, at the Gay Parade After Party on the Hudson River off Christopher Street, money or no money the people are the stars & all are welcome to get down & celebrate their gay pride. Yet, on the other side of the world the city government of Moscow canceled yet again their scheduled 2011 Gay Pride Parade even after being fined by the European Court of Human Rights for not allowing one previously. Eastern Europe as a whole has some of the most repressive countries in the world regarding Homosexual rights even though they portray themselves as modern states. But once transplanted to New York City, all that homophobia becomes old world nonsense for a sexy Russian Girl exploring the Gay Parade After Party at the birthplace of the worldwide Gay Pride Movement in Greenwich Village, New York City.

While being gay in Eastern Europe is taboo, the rap & hip-hop community in America is going threw its own homosexual acceptance growing process. Recently rapper Lil B titled his new album I m Gay even though he isn t in an attempt to break sexual orientation barriers in the rap community & reportedly lost fans & received death threats. As seen in this book, there is no lack of gay pride among black Americans wearing Michael Jordan sneakers & flipping gang h& signals at the Gay Parade After Party in New York.
