Larry is right, it's warn and abused. Both the rainbow and leather pride flags that you see in the parade were not made to last 10 years. In fact, they were only made to last one year. It's amazing that we've gotten this much use out of them.

We've found a new manufacture and we're working out a co-ownership deal between Twin Cities Pride and MN Leather Pride.

Now, I'd love to see other local groups make their own flags. Can you imaging a whole string of giant pride flags... rainbow, leather, bisexual, transgender, bears, whoever...
