A parody is defined as a literary or musical work in which the style of the author or work is closely imitated for comic effect or in ridicule.  The concept dates back to Ancient Greek literature, as Hegemon of Thasos was credited with being the first guy to change the words of poems to make them funny.

In a broader sense, parodies need not be humorous as long as they provide some sort of commentary on the original work. In that sense, a parody can be considered a sort of critical analysis of the original work.

Cville Pride, formally the Charlottesville Pride Community Network, is a prominent LGBT organization in Charlottesville, Virginia. Ever since Chris came out as a lesbian in mid-2014, the group has been an important conduit for his emergent participation in the LGBTQ community.

Back when he was a raging homophobe, a gay pride festival was the last place on earth Chris would have wanted to find himself. All this changed on 14 August 2014, when Chris came out on Facebook as a Tomgirl, and he took the initiative to attend the third annual Charlottesville Pride Festival, organized by Cville Pride, on 14 September 2014. Chris is documented having attended later events tied to Cville Pride on 10 June 2015, 19 September 2015, 7 October 2016, and 16 September 2017.
