Happy Pride!

Today is Pride Sunday in San Francisco (and New York, and other places that didn't have their pride celebrations a different weekend entirely), and I'm actually in town for it this year! My parents are down there already, lining up with the PFLAG contingent, getting ready to march. I'm meeting up with [livejournal.com profile] miss_begonia later, to watch. I need to remember to get out my sunblock. And paint my toenails! :D

Compliments of Buzzfeed's picture post of NYC Pride in the 1970s, I give you two photos from the first Pride Parade:





and then because this makes my heart feel like flying, and Firefly/Serenity is all about being proud of who you are (and because I know some of you will want to see this):



And now I need to go get ready!

Yeah, Pride when it's 120 in the shade sounds not only unfun, but impossible.

that second picture makes me happy. Weird to think she's in her late 50s or her 60s now.

FIREFLY. I need to watch it again.
