Sorry I have not posted this earlier, I haven't been paying attention to WoW or my server guild lately.
The Proudmoore server is having a large online pride celebration today. Everyone is invited. Celebration includes a march from Camp Taraujo and ends in Booty Bay, there will be several "floats" and a competition for best float. It's silly, it's fun, you'll feel a surprisingly strong sense of Pride marching your Undead Warlock in a Gay Pride Parade.
The Host Guild, "The Spreading Taint" has the full announcement on their website here:

The 5th Annual Proudmoore Pride Parade is at noon server time on Saturday June 20, 2009!
The Concept
As a dear friend recently reminded me, there are really only two types of people in the world: ones that entertain, and pretty much everyone else. For the 5th Annual Proudmoore Pride Parade, we are actively encouraging everyone to put themselves in the former category. As such, we're modeling Pride this year to be much like real life pride celebrations with contests, prizes, and most importantly, pride floats!
The Parade Route
We are following our traditional parade route with a few additions this year. We start off by putting the camp back in Camp Taraujo as our starting point this year.
The Go Girl honor float will leave from Camp Taraujo in the Barrens at noon sharp to head north toward Crossroads. The other floats will depart behind the Go Girl float every 40 seconds or so, so arrange to meet your float folks IN Camp Taraujo to have your group picture taken, and line up for float departure.
Remember, every float is automatically entered into the Float Contest, and people watching will vote online for the best float, so please make sure your float is ready to roll out when called.
The parade will continue north from Camp Taraujo toward Crossroads. The final PvP battle for the Nude Duel Tournament will take place at 12:20 alongside the parade route near the bridge north of Camp Taraujo. Please assist War Taint Sek-uridy by standing clear of the designated duel area (a mound of land to the left of the road directly left after that first bridge).
Our Alliance friends will be arriving from a jog from Theramore to meet us just southeast of Crossroads, then we all head to Ratchet to board the boat, which we traditionally crash . After we've shipped everyone to Booty Bay from Ratchet, join us on the aquatic dancefloor for dancing, frivolity, another contest, a craft fair, and photo ops!
There will be several floats:
The GO GIRL Float: Just as "Dykes on Bikes" leads the San Francisco Pride Parade, the GO GIRL float occupies pride-of-place at the head of the procession this year, with a special, escorted Walk of Honor from Camp Taraujo to Crossroads. The lovely Tetu will be the marshal for this float.
Priests With Pom Poms: We've got nerfed spirit, yes we do! We've got spirit and so will you!
An elite cadre of priests is needed to line the path between Camp Taraujo and Crossroads to honor, /salute, and bedazzle the parade path for the Go Girl float. Priest with Pom Poms will light the way with fireworks, Hymns of Hope, Lightwells, and smiles for our honorary float. This visual effect is also an important part of our post-Pride video. Bigheadben is organizing Priests with Pom Poms.
Spider Pride!: Limiting Pride to those with two legs is so, uh, arachnophobic. Screw that. Anyone with a spider pal (a hunter or those with spider vanity pets) are welcome to join this float as it skitters from Camp Taraujo to Ratchet and hopefully, for the contest win. Please contact Bigheadben to register for this float.
Gordok Orge Float: Join the ten tons of fun lumbering along. Zuelanti is the dumpy diva for this hot mess.
The Bunny Float: Be transformed into a bunny, wear your bunny ears. . .whatever it takes. Please see Maleck/Eyllena/
Hierophant for more info.
Those are a few of the floats already registered. To register your float concept, contact bigheadben at gmail.com. The deadline for float registration is June 15th.
I wouldn't be surprised by Dykes on Bikes either.
Event starts at NOON SERVER on Proudmoore, Camp Taraujo. There will be both Horde and Alliance floats and we will march together, though it is much easier to get a starting character to Camp Taraujo if you are Horde. If you start a level 1 character to participate, you will need to search for "Taint" and contact a warlock to port you in for the March.
Again, apologies for being so late getting this out, but it should be a fun time. Look for "Mayhew" if you make it!
