2013 taken from the Equality Illinois float.
Then last year there were approximately 30 different churches in the parade supporting us.
The times, they are a changing!

(17,997 posts)Can you please try to get pictures? I haven't checked the line up. I hope there will be a Bernie float.
Can't wait to see if Rauner will be there. I don't know how politicians that are against us march in the parade. They're just booed the entire route.
Have a fabulous time! Happy Marriage Equality Pride Day!

(14,691 posts)but who knows?
I'm glad I found out in time - I was wondering if Bernie folks would be there. I was going to be marching with PFLAG but I also wanted to see the start - the Dykes on Bikes and the Grand Marshalls. PFLAG has an early place in the march. Now I can do both - w. people for Bernie.
Happy Pride!

(99,708 posts)Actually if I had been riding the other bike and got surprised like that, I would have lost control and crashed into an SUV full of nuns.

(17,997 posts)We've spoken to them. This is no joke
tblue37
(65,487 posts)or were they people who had been enlightened all along, but who were apologizing for the fact that jerks had used their religion as an excuse to abuse LGBT people?
If they were people who had actually learned they'd been wrong and had become better, that would be more wonderful than if they were people who had supported LGBT rights all along. I suspect, though that most, perhaps all, of them have been enlightened for a long time.
And they were there again. Bigger bunch too!

(16,189 posts)That they've been given permission to be less judgmental by the new pope.
There's been a serious disconnect within Catholic Church over the message of love and a message of being judgmental. A war of ideas. It wouldn't take much for some of these people to give up the attitude of condemnation. They aren't taught to hate other people, ever.

This is an awesome photo, and shows what we, and all our neighbors (right and left-wing) think. Who cares? Love is love is love!

(17,997 posts)I cried so much at the parade it was ridiculous. The emotions were running high all over. But the jubilation took over and everything was absolutely amazing. I will post pictures later today
Thank you for sharing.
Hope you can get sleep in your eternal days
