Pride in Ft Lauderdale/Wilton Manors is today and I'm going despite "sever thunderstorm warnings"
There's a street festival 'till 6 then the parade at 7pm. Why 7? Due to the summer heat, organizers moved it back two years ago I was told.
As in my previous post, Pride to ME is more about overt satisfaction of being alive, living in a country where for the most part, being queer isn't a big issue.
It's how I'll show respect for those who fought with tears, blood & jail for us to be able to be open
It's knowing I can eventually meet one man and call it a recognized relationship in a few states and in my county
When I was outted at one job where I thought I had to keep private life private I realized I'd never keep my queerness locked up again
I'm out/proud/queer and Positive
