It was held in a park there in the city. Similar to what you describe, the place was overrun with gay folks! (surprise?) Lots of couples, men with men, women with women, children with their gay parents (mostly lesbians with children). I saw one straight dad with his gay teenager. Met a bunch of old lesbians working for gay friendly health care for the elderly. It was so refreshing to be there! Even though I was straight (oh, and I still am) I had been learning about homosexuality for just over a year and have 3 gay teens living in my home. I was ready to see a gay party/picnic. I loved it! It seemed so right! <BR/><BR/>Actually, I think it was that experience that led me to seek out an online gay community, which is when I discovered all these wonderful gay blogs.Javahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17377033663576614925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167118023573797856.post-86124340437637106782008-08-25T21:36:00.000-04:002008-08-25T21:36:00.000-04:00It's nice to be reminded that we're really a huge ...It's nice to be reminded that we're really a huge community, isn't it? Society has a highly refined capacity for making us feel like lonely outcasts. Events like this are good reminders of how big a part of society we really are!Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11542750642334339031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167118023573797856.post-7682050832534511482008-08-25T20:59:00.000-04:002008-08-25T20:59:00.000-04:00Where are the pictures of you in compromising posi...Where are the pictures of you in compromising positions? ehehe! jk!

It is ALWAY...Sounds like it was a fantabulous time. It is ALWAYS a good feeling when we feel we're in the majority. There's a sense of camaraderie amongst everyone and there's no hiding that takes place. And like you, I love it when I see so many familiar and welcoming faces. <BR/><BR/>The same thing happened to me one time about forgetting my camera and someone suggested just buying a disposable camera. It was the greatest idea and saved the day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
