Valley Pride
It was Pride Day in the Happy Valley, arguably one of my favorite days of the whole year in my little neck of the woods. It's just... well, I've lived a number of places and I've gone to a whole lot of Pride celebrations but there is something very special about the HV and I guess the best way to explain it is that Pride is just so... normal here. And what I mean by that is that pretty much everyone in the universe is into it, and sometimes it seems like the straight folks like it more than the queers!
One of Punk's friends was having a birthday party today, and when they sent out the Evite, pretty much everyone's comment said something like, "We're glad to come, but we have to leave early to go to the Pride parade." In fact, the party hosts eventually bumped up the time for the party to accommodate! In what other universe does a kid birthday party have to be rescheduled because of a Pride parade??!?
I freaking love it here so ridiculously much.
