Scenes from the Ft Lauderdale Gay Pride Festival


This weekend Fort Lauderdale
celebrated its 35th Gay Pride Festival at, in and around the War
Memorial auditorium--these are just some of the pictures.



No, no, that's not me--besides you are suppose to be looking at the car!!


This
is in front of the auditorium saluting men who served in WW2 many who
were gay and are heroes as are those who are named on the AIDS



Memorial Quilt saluting those who have died in that ongoing war.

Outside the auditorium

    

   

What's a Gay Pride Festival without bears, skimpy swim suits, impressive backs and drag queens?  They were all here.



Someday
I will have to write a blog about this kid who left a $5 tip on a $120
haircut and adding insult he worked for tips as a stripper/dancer!!!

    

A cowboy, a horse and food courts--what more do you want?

     



A
perfect day with perfect weather--sun, blue skies, warm temperatures
with a breeze and happy people all around--booths of every kind from
arts and crafts to politicians running for election, pet adoptations,
help for abused children not to forget so many happy gay parents with
their happy children in strollers walking around, showing off, adding
joy to a well deserved show of Gay People.



Ooops! How did that car picture get in there again???

See you there next year!

Looks like a fun time. I'd like to see one of those quilt displays in person some time.

They are overwhelming especially when you realize that each represents a person who has died of AIDS!

We hit 83 degrees today.
Don't worry I won't remind you (too many times) about the sweating.
