Pride parade 2010
I'll pick the best of the ones I have processed but I'm afraid they aren't as great as I'd have hoped but here you go...

This year as I discovered today, the Space Needle finally raised the pride rainbow flag at its peak which is a great sign and I think it was more of an oversight than anything else according to the article Marie, mhgagnon linked to in her journal earlier today since the needle has quite a diversity of staff, including those whom are gay/lesbian.
So from there, I managed to try and take some decent pics but with the restrictions being not out on the street unless the official photographer, of which I was not so I could only stay in the sidelines and did the best I could, but to get the better shots, it meant going to the intersection to my south and step out into the street a little to get the shots but some lazy asses felt the need to sit on the sidewalk so I was blocking their view. *sigh*
Anyway, here are a few shots I felt decent to semi decent.

A parishioner Tacy is a part of this group as he's a long time vet who's gay and this group is for such gay vets. I think that's him at the far end of the banner in the cap.
Cartoon characters, one being Batman on roller skates.
Standing bicycles
And how about a circular bike? One guy steered and the rest just peddled.
Our crowd in the crowd. alexjon , badrobot68 and ezran74 . all either checking the parade, the crowd or their phones or something. :-)
Another great crowd shot including you know who. ;-)
A Dachshund, one of 2 or 3 I spotted in the parade
The group Health coop contingent
A nice leather daddy.
And of course, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence and as I pressed the shutter I thought I caught the one fella tugging at his dress. :-)
and finally, Mike, aka bigmacbear who was with the Seattle men's and woman's chorus's as they did their walk in the parade. Sadly, his partner Gary didn't find us as had been originally planned. Oh well.
And that concludes Pride Parade 2010.
