Golden Gaytime: Three scoops of gayness

So I've been trying to be all deep and stuff and all 'GAY-RIGHTS-NOW!' by trying to bring you the latest on the Cuban pride march debacle (Don't worry if you haven't heard about it, I'll probably post something about it by Sunday).

Instead, I am sorry to say that I've been wholly distracted by a particular bit of rainbow ephemera despite the fact that I am officially prided-out this year.

Then again, what could bring me out of my post-gay anti-pinkness funk than the first ever official gay pride ice cream?

Straight from the
Spanish press:

"Today, gays and lesbians from Barcelona have launched the first gay ice cream commemorating the celebration taking place next Saturday on Gay Pride Day."

The scrumptious treat will be similar to an Italian gelato but - and this is what makes it gay gay gay - it will also have the six distinctive colors of the rainbow flag!

The icy delight, say the makers, is "very smooth, light and refreshing - you can eat two or three balls and you won't feel full!" (OMG, I'm usually satisfied with two!).

Best yet! Proceeds from sales will promote the ice cream maker company's socially conscious initiatives. The company, which has a staff of 15, has stated that 70% of its employees are "intellectually incapacitated" which I assume is the Spanish way of saying "mentally disabled" although one wonders what the 30% with full mental abilities were thinking when they actually had the original idea.
