Prideful things

It’s Pittsburgh Pride and there are a literal slew of LGBTQ activities going on around Pittsburgh. You can march in the parade, celebrate the alternative pride event Roots Pride, or watch a lot of comedy at the Arcade Comedy Theater. On Friday at 10 pm it’s the Gayme Show Night with outlandish games and prizes. On Saturday there is a sold-out event Golden Girls Live (with men in the roles of Blanche, Dorothy, Rose and Sofia). There’s also the Hootenanny with guest monologist Connor McCanlus at 8:00. At ten on Saturday there’s the ArGAYde Comedy show with drag stand up Niko Alexander, Pegusluts and LGBTQ*Bert, Pittsburgh’s own all LGBT improv troupe.
