Gay Pride Month is upon us and parades, parties, rallies and festivals are upon us! We'll be keeping a close eye on social photography network flickr and sharing some of the Hunks of Pride '06 each Monday through July 3rd.

Here's where you come in -- you can help contribute by getting out there with your camera and uploading the hunks you catch to the Hunk du Jour flickr photo group! You can also encourage others with photos on flickr to send their photos to the group to be featured.

Charge up those batteries, load up the film, and wipe your memory cards on your way to Pride. The best photo will get a FREE Hunk du Jour T-Shirt. (If you want to order one and turn a few heads at pride, visit the t-shirt shop where you can choose any style for $19.)

Kicking things off is this photo I found on flickr from photographer atp_tyreseus of himself and members of QUAC at Utah Pride 2006
