Pride was teh gay!
A big sparkly thank-you to everyone who made it out to the Pride parade on Sunday, despite the looming threat of rain! And an even bigger thank-you to everyone who enthusiastically waved at the Jer's Vision group! (did y'all see me?)
This was my second time marching in the parade in an official capacity, and my umpteenth attendance to Pride. I always make a point to wear not only the gay Pride colours, but the bisexual Pride colours too (we tend to pass unnoticed, but trust me, we're there, and vocal.)
Every year it seems to get a little bigger, and seeing the new and old faces is always so uplifting. My favourite attendees are always from the two age extremes; I love seeing the elderly same-sex couples, happy and open and celebrating (some for what is most likely the first time in their long lives), and I also love seeing happy, friendly kids attending with their parents. Makes me pleased and glowy to see the new generation, open-minded and accepting.
I'm already looking forward to next year's Pride week. ^_^
