Thanks to the city's drought rules, we are celebrating Stonewall Week around town instead of Atlanta Pride in Piedmont Park this weekend. What do you think?

	The end of June isn't the same without Pride. I want it back in the park next summer!
	I'm glad Pride moved to the fall. It's way too hot for an outdoor festival in June!
	I think Pride should have stayed in June but moved inside.
	Whenever and wherever they hold Pride is fine with me.
	I don't go to Pride.
