Off to journey over the Rainbow Bridge to go to the Twin Cities Pride Parade.
Where else but Pride can you have a man in a full-body fishnet stocking and thong gleefully tell your three year old that he simply *must* see the baby turtles he found by the lake and then, years later, have another man explain to your now eleven year old that no, the chainmail thong doesn't hurt because it's lined? *g*
Oh, and yesterday while discussing all the financial what-nots, I got to tell my father that we chose Saturday instead of Sunday because if we didn't go to the parade they would take our cards away. My mother laughed and my oh-so-Republican father tried so hard not to - you could see his thought process of "must not make gay jokes... I do *not* make gay jokes with my daughter..." Hee!
