At the Pride Parade

A  L  A !

Ka'ano'i Hula by Raiatea Helm on Grooveshark
 What an exciting day
at Honolulu's
Gay Pride Parade!










 There were rainbow flags



















 And no nags














 Celebrities paraded-
"I'm Gumby  DAMMIT!"



















 Hotel workers joined in the fun















 Some found shady spots!
















 Huggy Bears: Big Burly Men
need love too!
















 There was something-
for everyone!


 >  <  }  }  ( ° >


This year felt different.
Military people came
without looking over their shoulders.



The President
came out
for equal rights
to form
recognized relationships.




Hawaii has Civil Unions
for any couple
that wants to commit.


Centuries
of 
pain-



-Resolve
into 
a colorful
parade
on a sunny
day.


I think Heaven
will be like that.


Thank YOU
for parading by here!

I didn't know that Gumby was gay. I just heard that the man who voiced Gumby died.

Yes, heaven will be like that, if we all work at building it, including everyone at his/her full potential.

Aside from all the Hawaiian sunsets and flowers, there isn't much more colourful to photograph than a gay pride parade. :) Lovely stuff all around.
