Pride in Stark

Though the main drag of the boy scene in town often seems a lit overdone and trite to me it certainly does have its place in Portland’s gay culture and history. So I have to give Stark street its props, even if it is generally referred to as “Vaseline Alley.” So this Sunday, even though the parade has switched its route and doesn’t swing exactly through go ahead and head on down for the street’s very own block party: “Taking Pride in Stark.” It’s all freaking day, 10a-10p and your measly $3 goes right to Cascade AIDS Project and LGBTQ Community Center fund.
