Paris and Kathy Hilton have been named grand marshals for the 35th Annual Los Angeles Gay Pride celebrations to be held in West Hollywood, festival organizers announced last week.

“They are a very public mother and daughter team, and they know what it’s like to be different, or what it’s like when people don’t understand who they are,” said Rodney Scott, board president of Christopher Street West, parade and festival organizer. “We are so thrilled and excited to have them as our grand marshals.”

The organizer's reason for having them as grand marshals is so stupid -- because they know what it's like to be different?! How about picking someone who's... gay... or someone who supports gay causes?

BullSh*%. They were picked because it'll generate media buzz. That's just what a pride parade needs more of... useless airhead grand marshall's to complement the gymrats marching (dancing?) in their spandex banana-hammocks.
