Event Happy Pride

[crandc]

Especially to @YamTastic and @KSF-ERIC. It doesn't feel like a celebratory time. But when our community is under full frontal assault is exactly when we need to celebrate who we are and commit ourselves to keep on.
Happy Pride.

 

[YamTastic]

Pride was, is, and always should be a riot of protest. We can recognize and celebrate our uniqueness, but we gotta fight like hell to keep our place in this world.

Happy Pride @crandc

Thanks to all of you who walk the walk with pride. Respect! Pass it on!

My wife and daughter are going to watch the pride parade today in Beaverton, unfortunately I have to work today.

It's a typical San Francisco summer day. Freezing!

I stand and will always stand with the LGBTQ community.

Happy Pride!

I noticed Nancy Pelosi, who always attends, had much heavier security than in the past. I guess all revelations about mob wanting to murder her.

Apparently, this is the new, more inclusive Pride flag.

It is. It recognizes the efforts of trans people and people of color (especially Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P. Johnson) who were key in starting the pride movement, and are key in maintaining it.

We will not be quiet. The first pride was a riot.

It was flying proudly at the Timbers game yesterday.

I'm in Hawaii at the moment. There's a rainbow on every license plate!

That's awesome! The progress pride flag (I believe that's what it's called) is pretty popular in Portland.

Wish I was there right now! I love that island.

@THE HCP loves that movie The BirdCage!

 

[crandc]

Bird Cage was amusing, and side note Callista Flockheart's big break, but hardly typical of gay couples.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Been a long month no question.

The Big Island (my first time here) is definitely a mixed bag (in a very good way). Lots to see and do, so I'm glad we have 3 weeks. BG's place is at 2100 feet in elevation, so the temperature rarely gets much over 75, which is perfect. And the almost daily rain showers are a blessing rather than a nuisance (free water!). First day on the beach I got quickly fried despite sunblock, SPF clothes etc. So the more temperate location is nice......and it's only 20-25 minutes to Hilo. Still getting used to being addressed as "Uncle" by the locals, but it sure beats the usual "Asshole" label.......still have to get up to the volcano (both in the daylight and at night) and wherever else the granddaughters feel I need to see. But so far so good! I certainly get why people go for this lifestyle........

I lived very near where you're staying when my son was born...I've lived in several areas around Hilo....rainy season there is like Oregon. I like the Hamakua coast a lot..that whole island is a mountain range...glad you're getting to experience it.

Does this moron really think the purpose of Pride is to end straight marriage?

Yeah, I'm not getting what point is trying to be made here.

Maybe this person is in the closet?

 

[crandc]

Straights think we are trying to do what they do. They want to take away our civil rights so assume we want to take away theirs. I don't give a damn if this idiot gets married but I hope the woman reconsiders. Marriage to a moronic bigot won't be fun.

Did Trump actually see Les Miserables?

Carefully screened audience and he was still booed.
