Greater Palm Springs Pride
Downtown Palm Springs
November 3, 2007
You know the drill: parties, nods to culture like films and exhibits, fags mumbling “happy pride” while sipping mojitos, and a parade on Sunday featuring some dykes on bikes and uncomfortable tourists and trannies in shiny outfits.

Is it such a stretch to suggest that someone starring in a High School Musical (or 2) could be a little, uh, bohemian?

Zach Sire can’t believe that he gets paid to write about porn stars, but is more than happy to do so because how else would be pay for his Jägermeister and his addiction to porn? (Actually, he doesn’t have to pay for porn anymore since he started editing The Sword). In 2007, he graduated journalism school in Southern California and moved to New York where he thought he’d “make it big.” That didn’t happen.
