Today I went to the town of Davie, just a few minutes south of Fort Lauderdale, for the 2008 "Sunshine Stampede" Gay Rodeo. The men were sizzlean and the women were awesome. The favorite event of the day (and a very dangerous one) was the "Wild Drag Race", an event particular to gay rodeos. It involves a team composed of one male, one female, one of either in drag and one very angry steer. The cowgirl holds the rope attached to the steer when it is released from the chute. The team has to get the steer over a line 70 feet from the chute, and the drag has to mount it and ride it back across that line. Not easy.
After so many years rubbing shoulders with urban cowboys, it was a pleasure to be among the real ones.
