Went to Toledo Pride parade and celebrations. It was so much fun.
We know a number of the š³ļøāš LGBTQ people who were marching in it. It was fun to see them and be seen by them as well.
One of the Drag Queens (M) is a personal favorite of mine. We met a couple months ago and kinda bonded a bit. One night she told me that I am her spirit animal. That made me laugh but it was also flattering.
When I saw her float go by I kinda sprinted out and ran up. She gave me a giant smile and a big fat kiss. And then I got sprayed by a soap bubble gun.
Went back home, chilled, showered and rested (I think we spent a good 5 hours at the festival). Then headed out to a local drag haunt. Watched a couple more of our friends perform. Met new people. Danced a lot. Poured JJF into the car, drove a friend home then came back and collapsed sometime around 2.
We all agree that yesterday was a bit of an epic adventure day.
On a personal note… Celebrated Pride in my own way as well. Had a bit of a “hang up” breakthrough. And I cannot express how happy I am about that.
Sunday is winding down and we will be headed home soon. It has been a good weekend.
Go Pride!
