As far as I know, there is only one gay man on my side of our family. Wringing my brain doesn’t bring forth any more. It’s PRIDE time of year again, and I cheer one grandson.

San Diego always does things a little sideways. In San Francisco PRIDE is today. The PRIDE festival here will be July 9 through the 17th.

A job was offered to me when I was at my bottom by my friend Harry. I found myself housesitting an old Victorian downtown…in the middle of a gay neighborhood. I didn’t know what gay was. Today all those gay and straight friends have died. I find many of them on panels in the AIDS Quilt. Those that didn’t die of AIDS, are framed forever in my memory.

Tucson's Pride is a very subdued affair. Might be the heat, might be something else.
There's a very nice Pride celebration on the UofA campus. A lot of effort goes into that one.

I alwats find it strange how much emphasis is put onto being 'gay' because I am sure it really shouldn't be an issue and that what matters is everyone is human and therefore 'normal'. SAadly it appears to be almosy a trend for some people who lack self confidence. I am trying not to define people by their gender orientation and that is also why I cannot be bothered with the Over-the-Top flaunting in pride parades. I do know people of varying orientations but its no big deal to me. hugs p

If there are gay people in my family they have remained in the closet.
