Local Pride

[nosrednayduj]

So Boston pride was canceled. So we had a local pride parade, in what seems to be our go-to technique: in cars. We live on a major road, and so all of the car parades end up going past our house. We went down to the road wearing tie dye and waving rainbow flags as the parade drove by. I swapped out my usual bicycle safety flag for a rainbow flag, and had some idea that I would try to follow the parade on my bicycle. However, it took about a minute to get my act together and get on the road, and by then they had driven a ways down the road, and they were going faster than 15, so there was no catching them by me.

So I had my own private pride parade, randomly riding around town, mostly looking for "black lives matters" signs. One person did yell out "happy pride", so they had noticed my flag and my tie dye. Anyway, the point about the "black lives matters" signs is that after we bought 10 more after the latest thefts, and the town was having all these vigils and protests, we offered some up on the local facebook group, and sold them all! So we bought 10 more, and sold five of those so far. (We're taking a small loss, to make it an even $10.) Anyway, I wanted to see some of our signs. I saw one that I already knew about, and another "in the wild". Somewhere there are 13 more…

thanks for posting this. It prompted me to look up the Lexington pride group and they are doing the same thing this afternoon. I'll try to get to the center at the right time to watch, trying to distance myself.
