eumeliaGot back from the Philly Pride Parade.
Fun was had by yours truly.
I am now a whole lot more buttoned than I was before and I have lots of beads and chains for Israeli Pride.
Plus, I finally have a rainbow flag! Woot!
The floats were very nice, but by far the best one was the mock X-Men float, in which all our favourite super-heroes and heroines were queered and called themselves the G-Men... which is pretty ironic since the X-Men are notoriously non-government.
It was pretty weird hearing the cartoon theme song blaring out of the speakers and then getting a techno version of "I will survive" right after it.
So we (as in all of queer Philadelphia and the allies) marched through Center City to Penn's Landing near the river and there, there was much the commercialized booths.
What is it with Americans and beer.
Bud Lite was the sponsor for the event.
Not all was good though, Just Kidding!!
But there was this needy leech of a closet case who had recently come out and just wouldn't leave me alone! I mean I didn't know her from a bar of soap, do I exude this pheromone for attracting total strangers who happen to be losers. At Pride events! Damn, she was annoying.
And Mummy had warned me to have fun and be weary of predators :)
