Related: About this forumMarched in a gay pride parade today
My first ever.
We were the only political party in the parade, got a lot more excitement than I was expecting and the dogs I was walking got more attention than I did.
I'm probably on TV tonight. It's OK. I've been out since 1983. Just a few new colleagues may not have figured it out yet.

Unless you were dressed in drag, diapers, leather or something outlandish (think rhinestones and feathers) it's unlikely you'll be on the news. They only seem to show the folks who that get them the 'shock' value they are going for.

...and the cute twinks in the sailor hats
