What a fervent time!
The Civil Rights Movement was in Full Swing!

And another Marginalized Group — Gay People — now got their turn. (more…)

A Meme from the Internet
It’s Pride!
We March!
We Dance!
In Celebration of our Freedom!
It takes Courage Every Day
And we Dance in Celebration of the Courage to Be Who You Are!
For many Young People, it is a time for Dance Parties and showing off the Spectacular Toned Bodies of their Youthfulness!

SUSI VILLA’s Float in Last Week’s Gay Pride Parade in New York

The Wife seems mildly startled by the unexpected site.
The Husband explains, “There used to be a Gay Beach here.”
It does not occur to the Wife to ask how he knew that.

NYC Pride 1982
When I was a twenty-something, I didn’t understand why it was called “Pride.”
I didn’t March back then.
