HAPPY GAY PRIDE DAY!

 

Empire State Building in New York City

UPDATE FROM THE COMMENTS:

Murdoch Matthew
We've never seen such a turnout in New York City -- crowds from 40th Street to the end of Christopher Street three-deep at least, often filling sidewalks. We were in the first of the march when people were fresh, and it was three miles of screaming. We doubled back to watch the rest of the march across Tenth Street from the Church of the Ascension (which served water with lemon to Marchers), and it was quieter. Sprinkles began at 3pm, not enough to dampen anyone seriously, but it thinned the crowd a bit by 5pm. The march began at noon and ended at six. A celebratory day.
The Episcopal Church was in the last section, with the bishop on the float. The Riverside Church brought up the rear, just in front of the police cars and street sweepers.

HAPPY GAY PRIDE DAY!


My friend Doug (Counterlight) and his Michael

I am proud to know Doug and my other LGTB friends, who are far too numerous to mention. I have not met Michael, but I hope to one day. I love you all, and I wish you a great day, whether you join the crowds at parades, or attend parties, or spend the day quietly at home. Mwah, mwah, mwah!

Thanks to Counterlight for letting me borrow his pictures.
