Happy Pride!
This year's pride parade featured more churches and corporations than I remember from before, and was a lot less risque than previous years, but on the whole lots of fun. Until, that is, the fundamentalist protesters started prosteltyzing as I walked home. They were surrounded by cops for protection and stationed about a block away from the parade route, but it was a really unfortunate last image...Especially after seeing so many churches and synagogues marching with inclusive messages (including Catholics for gay marriage, which was a float I did not expect to see).
Aside from that, good times all round. But I didn't wear the best shoes to walk home 20 blocks after standing for two hours, so now my feet are blistered and achy. Sigh. The things even I do for fashion are somewhat amazing.
