6:21p	I missed Pride on Sunday As per the request of some folks who can't do their carry classes on Saturdays, I scheduled one for last Sunday.  By the time I realized what the conflict is/was, I was already committed, and I missed the opportunity to work the Pink Pistols table, although Felicia and my daughters did, for a short period of time.  (A cranky 11-year-old is a problem.)  Damn.  It was fun last year, and apparently a good time was had this year, too.  Word I've heard is that the hostility that the Pink Pistols used to get from much (not, by any means, all) of the local gay community is diminishing.  Familiarity doesn't breed contempt; it breeds comfort.  (5 Comments | Comment on this)
