By far my favorite snap from the day!
So two weeks ago, the Clan was attending World Pride, and I ended up going unexpectedly for day. While maybe not as attended as the New York World Pride several years back, this was the 50th Anniversary of Pride and in the nation's capital. The final word was the event was attended by over 2 million from around the globe. An event as much as a celebration of LBGTQ and resilience as it was a call to action amidst heightened political tension. It was the global epicenter of Pride, solidarity and activism. The day I was there, there were independant marches, concerts and many events from short films, documentaries and immersive exhibits to view, to street festivals, and protest. And many groups to march with in the streets to promote equality in the country, thanks to those Stonewall rioters. And it's worth remembering that Pride began as a radical act of protest, and this history is more relevant than ever today. It was a long day and am I getting exhausted from Prides...I'm getting there, but I feel it's my duty to get out there be seen and attend so many Prides that I'm able too. I have to admit it was an exuberant feeling to walk to solemn marches and be part of our history to honor those who paved the way and push our visibility for a future where freedom is universal. Some of my snaps for the day.
This old bitch, Bianca Del Rio
Preston and boyfriend Anthony...in a touching yet hot capture! They were serving more cake that Tastykake, and legs that a bucket of chicken.
Two more Prides to go yet...New York City and Harrisburg.
I should be breaking wind with glitter by now.
I couldn't make it to Long Beach Pride this year, so thoroughly enjoying your month of Pride, which is even better 🌈
ReplyDeleteI would have loved to have been in DC for World Pride. As nice crowds are gaining everywhere for Pride I personally know far too many LGBT that are sitting home and not representing. Then when the current administration strip us of right, they will be bitching. Love the first photo! Best sign yet henny.
