World Of Warcraft Gay Pride Parade

And it ends with a World of Warcraft gay pride dance party? This is an important reminder that sometimes nerds are the best.

The best part of this (uh, besides all of it?) is that this is the 5th annual Proudmoore World of Warcraft gay pride parade. 5th Annual! That'll do, internet. That'll do. (Via BuzzFeed.)

maybe in the real world, these nerds live in places where there's no prevalent gay community or no gay pride parades.

even with the "let's get wet" title, I found this heart warming.

It isn't the destination as much as how you get to that destination.

But basically, they all partied down at "Booty Bay."

I think it says something about how far gays still have to fight for civil rights when they are portrayed as the evil races--the Horde--of World of Warcraft.

It also says that I know too much about a certain online RPG. Arcane Get Me Out of Here.

At least all of the players are playing this and aren't out contracting AIDS.

I don't see any protesters. Nor did the Dykes on Bikes start of the parade like they traditionally do. FAKED

Rather than respond to the awful and dated prejudices boiling behind this comment, I thought I'd just point out that you contract viruses, not diseases. Fucker.

I was hoping to see some pirates dancing alongside Tobias on the boat. And why is everyone standing on the water?

We're here, we're queer, and we get +10 charisma if our outfits match!

You'll never become a Lv. 80 Death Knight if you keep indulging in your parades, gay people!

Just in case it wasn't clear that it's not just straight virgins playing WoW.
