Pride (Reprise)
Today I marched in the San Jose Gay Pride Parade and worked the Rainbow Rec booth for a couple of hours, as promised. I really got a kick out of doing both. I don't know what it is—camaraderie, the feeling of being a part of something bigger than myself, or just the warm glow that comes from volunteering—but I enjoyed SJ pride more than I have in years.
I took my big chunkalunka camera with me on the parade route and got some pictures.
A bunch of us, before the parade.
Volleyball is probably the most popular Rainbow Rec event, so a couple members hit a volleyball back and forth while we marched.
Part of the Healthy Penis anti-syphilis campaign.
The booth where I worked.
The parade route runs right in front of St. Joseph Cathedral. There were a few people outside protesting the parade, and one marcher responded in probably the best way anyone could.

*sigh* I used to live in san jose with my x and worked in the building right by St. Joseph's. The Bank of the West building . I worked on the top floor for the Silicon Valley Capital Club. I left about 6 months after it became the Knight Ridder Building
