Houston Pride 2008 - Part 2
















Houston's Mayor Bill White






















































I took over 100 Pictures of the crowds and over 175 Pictures of the Parade. These are just a sampling. I think you can get the idea that a good time was had by all.

The only problem all day was a tow truck driver that wanted to tow all of the cars out of the shopping center where we were parked. He caused several families to leave because he said they either had to have $142.50 or get towed. We had been in and out of Subway, one of the tow businesses open, all day. They had no problem with our group being there. The asshole tow truck driver said it was the property owner who had contracted him. SO, the police came. The owner was called. The property owner, in Montose, the Gayborhood, did not want to piss off his clientele so he told the tow truck driver to cease and desist. Thye driver left angry becaue he thought he was going to get paid.

Other than that, it was a great time. I met lots of people. Celebrated the day and just partied. We all went to an after party at one of the bars and it rolled on until well into the wee small hours.

Be OUT

Be PROUD

Be LOUD

Here last saturday we had "pink Saturday" a kind of GLBT special day. Even on our police staion they raised the rainbow flag. Gay police officers also joined the parade.
In august we will have Amstrdam pride with the famous canal pride. Kind of parade through the canals of Amsterdam.

Honey, remember when we had to fight our way through hordes of born again psuedo Christians just to get to our line up spots?

There HAS been change, and I'm really proud of us all!

Another great set of pics, Chris!
The parade looks like fun! I'll have to try to attend my own Milwaukee's pridefest next year.

It sucks about the towing problem!

You Gays have so much fun--I may have to try it for awhile--is the 6 pack ready o drop his red bathing trunks available for lessons on how to be gay??
Our first time Saturday night parade last week got rained on but still had a massive turnout. The next day festival also got rained on and a lot of exhibitors got soaked but everyone stayed.
