After a little trip to the nearby mall to pay a couple of bills driving around buying some stuff for plushies (I found this pretty purple and gold ribbon that I just had to buy for eventual Megan), Mom realized that she forgot to do soemthing at the mall, and we decided to go in the afternoon.

As it was, Reiki decided to join the trip, and we walked to the mall. While I waited outside, on the Siman entrace (because I couldn't go inside the mall with a dog), I heard music from the nearby park. It sounded like a carnival of sorts.

I wanted to know what was going on and convinced mom that we should walk home using the main road instead of the usual one, and we found ourselves looking at the first vehicle of what turned out to be an awesome Gay Pride parade. We ended up watching the whole parade.

Actually, awesome can't even begin to describe it. It was fancy, colorful, musical, very... local. And the feelings they emanated got to the people watching them. There were even cars stopping and people getting out to watch, even explaining to their kids the reason for the parade.

And I had my camera, so forgive the photo spam.

I did forgot to use the zoom for the first photos...

Now, if only our politicians would stop trying to cram religion into every issue...
