Just a few more pics from pride!

Pride Festival

The other day I decided to go to a gay/lesbian pride festival for no other reason than to have some fun. Let me just state that I am straight but I completely support gay, lesbians, and transgendered people because they are just that...people. I don't want to get all political and religious but who am I to tell them who they can and can't marry? And that's all I will say about that.

Anyways I go out with my friends and it was seriously an incredible experience. It made me think, the festival isn't just about being proud of your sexuality, it's about being proud of who you are. Straight, gay, fat, skinny, black, mexican,  white, or whatever,  be comfortable in your own skin. Being there truly made me feel that way, it was about empowerment of self and celebrating yourself. I loved it! And love was definitely in the air, it was amazing,  I can't even begin to describe it but seeing two people in love, regardless of gender or race, is such a beautiful thing. But I'm also a hopeless romantic so  all around love just makes me happy.

The musical performances were also something I enjoyed. People, such as Betty Who and Monogem performed. I had never heard of either of them before but I liked their music. The atmosphere was phenomenal, with the music blaring, everyone dancing excitedly. Every one was vibing off each other and I was taking it all in.

All in all I had a wonderful time, of course there were drugs and alcohol but in this journey of finding myself I want to stay clear headed,  so I did not partake. I recommend to anyone who is "down" to experience this. It was a wonderful experience for me and I definitely want to go again!
