I have  not been able to square away the time to do a proper narrative intepretation of the day, but meanwhile, I’ve uploaded a slideshow of over 75 images from this year’s SF Pride.
Not included here are the blurry camera phone images of Kellita, “Queen of Carnival SF 2008 and  Head Feather, Hot Pink Feathers [...]

Papadaddy

Love the t-shirts, even love the font on the t-shirts. 
Their son is adorable, and had the best deadpan stare at the camera, from beneath a very fabulous hat. But, since I err on the conservative side w/ kid images (other than me own), the little cutie will have to remain as cute as your imagination [...]

I heart Pride

The lil’ monkey moons at her downstairs cousin, who is demonstrating some primo Pride pride.

En route to Pride, Berkeley, CA.

Block party!

Under what circumstances would a jumpy Baba happily let her son run smack down the middle of the street? Block party!
Yes, Baba’s Day was all I might have wanted it to have been. That and more, on which I will expound later.
Meanwhile, predating Baba’s Day this weekend was: Block Party!  We have some neighbors who, [...]

Solo dance, Berkeley, CA.

Pushmepullyou

For a split-second she actually grimaced at the camera, in an attempt to “smile” for it. Don’t know where she learned that craziness; certainly not from me.   So instead I said, “How ’bout just look serious at it.” Which she effortlessly obliged.
Best wishes this weekend to those of you celebrating Father’s Day this Sunday [...]

    "We need to be able to innoculate our community--and the people we need to move--against our opposition. Who tells lies about us... It has to start with you. And your story." Kate Kendall, speaking in City Hall on the day of the CA Supreme Court's decision to uphold Prop 8.
