PRIDE MONTH in Postcards 4

We are in the midst of Pride Month here in San Diego. We used to have a Pride parade but that was all. Then Pride and a party. Now the celebration has grown to a whole month. We also used to have fewer letters. Like LG, then it grew to LGB. Now the letters linger….LGBTQ.

Most of the early supporters have died. AIDS isn’t the only thing that decimated the ranks of those who cared, age happened too. Here we no longer have an AIDS Quilt group. They ran out of steam. There isn’t a symbolic item for abuse and rights issues yet, but one day there will be. That’s where the focus of the community is now.

I have a gay grandson and a gay granddaughter. I’ve gotten so sidetracked that I don’t even know if that’s the current term any more. I just want them to grow old in a world that will love them as I do.
