NYC Heritage of Pride 2008
Posted by rantingsteve on June 29, 2008
I marched in my first Gay Pride Parade, and it was in New York City, and it was awesome.
After Sunday worship service at Judson Memorial Church, we all piled on the subway and headed up to 53rd and 5th, where we waited, and waited, and waited. (Religious groups were towards the end this year; the parade started at Noon, and we weren’t allowed to start until about 2:00 pm.) And there were thunderstorms, but in spite of the weather, the crowd was crazy and wonderful. I can only imagine what it would have been like if the weather were more accommodating. If anyone was watching, I was the one holding the left side of the banner for Judson. Hopefully, someone took pictures and I’ll be able to include them here.
I am so exhausted.
