Was it fun?

Yes, it was. It was also really... encouraging. There's a reason it's called Pride. Everyone there is proud, not just to be gay or lesbian or bi or transgendered but just to be. Looking different at Pride, whether with funky hair or strange clothes or being in drag, is totally accepted. Being different is accepted. There's no judgment on being too fat or not pretty enough; everyone just is. And it was a great thing to experience, particularly for me because I have so many hang-ups about being too fat or unattractive. For the first time in a long time, I felt hope at Pride. I felt like maybe I could meet someone someday who will like/love me for me, and maybe it's not such a distant possibility. I felt almost good about myself today.

And I also got to see Cheer Dorothy Cheer (an incredible show), drag queens, dykes on bikes, and lots of other fun things. It was a good day.

*hugs* SJ. Milwaukee Pride is the best! It reminds you the world isn't all about "them" - sometimes it's about US - the fags, the freaks, the ones who don't fit. So glad you got to go and experience it! :heart:

Just so you know, you're probably the only newb I haven't made cry in their first day or so. ;)
Probably the only newb who's asked you to edit their first story, too. :D

I feel pretty.
Oh so pretty.
I feel pretty and witty and gay. :)

I sang that at work the other day after putting a fake flower that fell of the stem in my hair, I got lots of strange looks from my coworkers, hehe.

You never made me cry, does that make me special too? Or is it the diagnosis' on my medical record that make me special...?
