Had a new vantage on the Heritage of Pride parade today, at the Church of the Ascension offering water to passing marchers. Filling 30,000 cups (!) over seven hours - we were there for the latter half - leaves little
time to take in the parade, though, or even to look up and see who's passing by. So I was happy to notice the corsetted Dia de los Muertos dandies from the Mexican group (right), and delighted to take in the fabulous procession of Queer Saints Resist! (above) celebrating Saints Keith Haring, Bayard Rustin, Harry Hay, Oscar Wilde, Frida Kahlo, Audre Lorde, Alan Turing, Bowie, Jane Addams, Billy Tipton, Eve Sedgwick, Harvey Milk, Michael Callen, Langston Hughes, Marsha Johnson, Robert Spike, Christine Jorgensen, James Baldwin, and Hibiscus. Grace abounding!
