The Spreading Taint, a GLBT guild that we've featured here on the site (http://www.wow.com/2008/10/21/15-minutes-of-fame-proudmoore-guild-plays-out-glbt-pride/) before, is hosting an in-game event next Saturday, their fifth annual Pride Celebration (http://taint.rtgc.org/viewthread.php?threadid=15024). Just like real-life Pride events (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_pride_parade), they're planning quite the spectacle, from floats of all kinds (I'm curious to see the ">8< Spider Pride" float, featuring spider pets aplenty, both Hunter and vanity), a crafting fair in Booty Bay, and contests like a Naked Dueling event and a modeling competition. They've even got "a professional" shooting footage of everything, so you might be able to see yourself in the official video as well.
As we talked about in our 15 Minutes interview with them, these folks are very social and a lot of fun -- while their roots are in the GLBT community, they're interested in including people from all backgrounds, and obviously this event is open to everyone who wants to have a good time in-game (though they are strictly disallowing PvP -- if you want to fight, go elsewhere). The event kicks off next Saturday, June 20th, at noon server time over on Proudmoore. The parade itself starts at Camp Taurajo (http://www.wowwiki.com/Camp_Taurajo) in the Barrens, but we're sure no matter where you are on the server, you'll probably hear about them -- just follow the wackiness.
