I remember when the renamed Christmas on the Prado, and replaced it with the name December Nights.
The official explanation was that they wanted to reflect the diversity of San Diego, and that activities took place all over Balboa Park, not just on the Prado area.
Anyone believe that explanation?
I have a stupid question: Why is it okay to delete the name of Christmas or Easter from seasonal festivals, in the name of diversity, but you have Gay Pride Parades, which are called Gay Pride Parades?
In order to truly celebrate diversity, shouldn’t the Gay Pride Parade be called something else? After all, most people are not gay, just as some people are not Christian, and/or just don’t celebrate Christian holidays. So, if we apply the same reasoning to Gay Pride parades, we would have to change the name of the Gay Pride parade to something else.
Agree and thanks for the correction, “December Nights” as opposed to “Winter Nights.” Silly either way, and caused me to never want to patronize Balboa Park.
I like the idea of replacing “Gay Pride Parade” with the “Dead at the Median Age of 47 Because You Engage in Anal Sodomy Parade”
