SF Gay Pride Parade 2006

San Francisco Pride was nice enough to grant me a press pass for this year’s SF Gay Pride Parade, so I spent this past Sunday testing out the new camera and taking in the scene that is guaranteed when a million open-minded people have the run of the city for a day. Click for the photos on Flickr.
I didn’t have a chance to write anything this year, but my words from last year stand.

You know, I don’t really care if these people march around and celebrate their way of life even if I disagree with it, that’s why America is great, however, answer me one question, why on Earth does gay pride = wearing leather chaps, vest, and well, not much else??? Are the costumes really meant to just scare the “closed-minded” people away from San Francisco?

yeah, assless chaps serve no purpose except striking fear in the hearts of “good christians” everywhere.

It may not be having that effect because I hear all the time how we need to send Christian Missions to SF and California in general…they see it as a New Sodom and Gomorrah,…pass the salt…
