there's something so different about a city Pride celebration from a college one.
at the huge dance party Saturday night and the parade & festival Sunday morning, i kept coming back to the realization that all of these people--and there were so many people--were here together, to celebrate the fact that we can all love each other.
in conversation yesterday, i was pleased to discover that i was not the only one who had felt it profoundly acceptable to just Be, as Whatever You Are.
i loved how you could pick out any given article of clothing and comment on it and the person would accept the compliment graciously.
there's nothing like drag queens.
and it felt so good to see so many families.
that may be my favorite picture ever, and i wish i knew what song was playing. so much about that moment was perfect.

For me, one of the best feelings was somehow knowing that it was okay be "as is" -- not necessarily as anything or anyone at all, but as/with the moment itself. As much as this Pride was not as big/exciting/inclusive as I had expected, there was an undeniable energy the entire weekend that everyone seemed to have access to. Things just flowed and it was a beautiful sight.
