GAY PRIDE

SUNDAY
Fire birds on Fifth Avenue

Met up with my friend Michael for a mid afternoon glimpse of the parade

from the corner of fifth Avenue at 23rd Street

At 3PM still streaming from the start point at 36th Street

Flags of all nations

Proud and it shows

Feathers and more feathers

Diversity-Love-Families

"Proud to provide transgender health care"

He seems to be an advertisement for Macintosh

Signaling

Long lines to get around the crowd control barriers

Superman

Tired, hot and thirsty

Gorgeous

and still the miles to go to the Stonewall Inn at Christopher Street

 Then West to the Hudson for Fireworks and dancing. Too warm for me to have worn my rainbow gear (hat, neck warmer, two wrist warmers, Mohair Wool)

Michael and I retired to my apartment a few blocks away, shared some cheese toasties, white wine and lemonade while we listened to Rachel Garnier.
(8 minutes)
