NORTHAMPTON - The 27th annual Northampton Pride March & Rally drew about 7,500 people yesterday on an overcast and cool day, but there still was plenty of enthusiasm.
Marchers made their way from Edmond J. Lampron Memorial Park to the Armory Street parking lot, where there was food, vendors and live music. Banners and signs were displayed by some marchers, including a handmade sign that read "Queers Against War(s)" and a banner that read "God Loves Us ALL" from the United Church of Christ.
In addition, some marchers chanted "Hey hey, ho ho, homophobia has got to go."

The Kansas City area has a new, youth-led metro area gay-straight alliance (GSA) network called EQUAL. EQUAL stands for Empowering QUeer Activists and Leaders. Young lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and allied (LGBTQA) activists started the group, and it is growing under the leadership of local members.
For now, the best way to get involved with EQUAL is to join its Facebook group at http://facebook.com/group.php?gid=2385699927, or by e-mailing Colin Daniels at king_c15@hotmail.com.
To learn more about gay-straight alliances, visit the Web site of GLSEN’s national organization at glsen.org, or check out the Kansas City chapter’s myspace page sharing its space with EQUAL at myspace.com/glsenkc. Information on GSA networks can be found at gsanetwork.org.
