San Francisco is simply an amazing place to live. They actually broadcast the Pride parade yesterday LIVE on the local WB station. LIVE! While this is wonderful and amazing and beautiful and it enabled me to record the event so that I could actually see the parade because I always miss any parade I'm in due to the crowds and my marching in it myself, I must say that there are some things that straight people just should not see on television. They can't handle it. There are things at festivals that I can't even handle seeing, and I'm gay. But straight people sitting at home flipping the channels are often simply too sheltered to handle some of the scenes that come out for festivals. And they broadcast several of them LIVE on local television. LIVE!!!! I don't mean to say that we should hide ourselves in any way and I'm Proud of the festival and our full communities; I'm just saying that they put this stuff LIVE on television. How amazing San Francisco is. (Did I mention that it was LIVE?!?)
