things i witnessed today at LA Pride
- queer policemen and fbi agents walking hand in hand with their partners and spouses.
- a cute girl running out of the parade to give @stormsdameron her number
- cops openly embracing people in the street
- a man who had been attending LA pride since 1976. he shook my hand and said “when I first came to pride back then there were 25 people here. look at us now.”
- elderly queer people blowing kisses from a float. holding hands.
- a woman approaching us and saying “you are so beautiful, all of you, take care of each other”
- elementary school trans-children in gender ambiguous clothes. smiling and laughing. blowing bubbles.
- when an anti-lgbt church began protesting and walking along side the parade with a loudspeaker, the entire brigade of Dykes on Bikes revved their motor cycles to drown out the hate speech. no one could hear them
- a man who gave us all a handful of condoms and said “take care of each other. be strong. your voices are so important”
- women holding hands with other women. men holding hands with other men.
- trans-women and trans-men laughing and dancing.
- danny devito in a rainbow shirt pointing and waving at us
- mac from It’s Always Sunny wearing a shirt that says “You Can Pee Next to Me”
- dozens of last minute signs and tributes to orlando. outcries of “we love you orlando”
- confetti. dancing in the streets.
- people supporting each other in every aspect. high fives. hugs. kisses on cheeks. affirmations.
- so many affirmations.
- words of kindness.
- you are beautiful.
- you are loved.
- you are important.
- stay strong.
- i love your shirt.
- i love your lipstick.
- stay strong.
- take care of each other.
- stay strong
- stay strong
- stay strong.
These are such brave, beautiful, happy things. We can do this. Please don’t give up.
