Holy Fuck. I don't know why I'm surprised but pride is fucking huge here. I took the bus in to check it all out earlier and we only got to Van Ness before the festivities blocked our path so I got out and started walking. I couldn't see another street open to traffic until I reached 3rd and Mission and I was looking down all the streets that cross McAllister and Market on the way. It's absolutely great though. I don't often smile with large groups of people around but there was such a great vibe around all these people that you just had to. The parade just went on and on and on. It really made me think of a huge July 4th celebration only with less fireworks and more assless leather chaps. I was only around for a little less than an hour before I went off to get some work done but it managed to get me to slow down from my usual fast pace and brighten my day.
