Today I drove into the city to attend the Gay (and Lesbian) Pride parade with some friends, both gay and straight. I was even lucky enough to score an excellent FREE parking spot for my full-size vehicle in a notoriously automobile-unfriendly part of town. Woo-hoo!
I was dressed simply in stretch denim capri's, some funky platform sandals, and a kooky t-shirt with a japanese anime cartoonish figure of a fairy on it (I figured it'd be appropriate for the event! FAIRY...get it? ;) )
I got a nice compliment from my gay pal, Rob ("You look great!") but then as I approached the line for the porta-potty, I was actually hit on by two inebriated aging frat guys.
Huh.
Me, a straight woman, getting hit on by two men at the gay pride parade - now THAT'S a new one! heheheh. I chalked it up as an odd compliment of sorts and went on with my day.
This event does weave its way through some of the most yuppiesque neighborhoods so needless to say, it was a diverse crowd. Actually pretty tame compared to what I expected. But mostly it was fun hangning out with friends outside, on a gloriusly mild day (mid 70's, sunny).
