Just came back from a trip to the Farmer's Market downtown.. one of the treats of living in a smallish town (50,000 probably, since it's off season). 4 city blocks of pedestrian traffic for the best all natural fruits, veggies, flowers, and arts & crafts. And we loaded up..
Then leaving the downtown area, I see a band of probably 10 kids (ages 18-30?), carrying a huge rainbow flag & sporting brightly colored signs that say, 'Follow Us to Gay Pride!' & 'Honk if you're Gay!'. All totally having a grand time. They were about 5 miles from the auditorium that Gay Pride is being held in today.. so I trust that their jaunt was a successful one & they didn't face any of the taunting right wingnut Baptists along the way.
Sarasota's 1st Gay Pride Parade!! And I got to witness it & cheer them on!

Here's to G/L/TG pride! Parent Pride.. stay strong! May that flag of acceptance & tolerance ever wave.
