I am glad to here that Jimmy, I think it is a right of passage for all gay people to actually be in the parade several times, to lead marches and have sit ins and be counted and recognized, I love people who set examples for other s to follow. I look for you on the Float!
I haven’t marched in the parade for about 7 years, simply because I am too busy inside the festival. This year, as a sign of support and solidarity, I am going to be on the city float. I always have fun, and even with all of the controversy, I still want to feel “counted”. It’s always been about enjoying myself and being “counted”. Visibility, to me, is the best way to break down barriers.
