It’s Pride Week in Dallas, and Here Are a Couple Dozen Ways to Celebrate.

Think your last week was bad? It probably wasn’t as horrible as this guy, who was stung in the penis by a sting ray while swimming in the ocean.

It gets worse. The creature was still attached when medics arrived on scene to help remove it.

How’s that for perspective? Even if you aren’t expecting you genitals to be attacked by wildlife this week, your days could always be brighter. We, along with this super-helpful list of activities below, are here to make sure of that.
