I always remember Thanksgiving being big at my house growing up. I would get up early and watch the Macy’s Parade with my mom. Then my seven older brothers and sisters would arrive with their families. My mom would serve about 30 people on that day.

My older brother David (who is gay also) would always bring friends who didn’t have a place to go for the day because of not being accepted by their family. My sisters loved it because several of his friends were hair stylist and would give them free cuts.

Well, this Thursday is Thanksgiving and I want to let you know two things:

1) The Wilde Roast Cafe will be closed the whole day. We have a great staff and they need to spend the day with their families.

2) If you are a GLBT person looking to get stuffed this Thanksgiving. Consider spending it at MAP with PrideAlive. There will be a free movie marathon and dinner celebration beginning at 2pm. FFI and RSVP call Keith Pederson at (612) 373-2475 keith.pederson@mnaidsproject.org
