valoriegave out LOTS of hugs this year03:30
Lancelot...?03:31
valorieSF Pride is the only one I would blow off Seattle for, though03:31
valoriethe timing was so great this year; everybody was happy03:32
MarkDudeThe Sf party stretched beyond the city borders- most cities had some signs03:33
valorienice03:33
MarkDudeAnd every station played gay music03:33
valorieLancelot: what's your question?03:33
valorie"gay music"03:33
valorielol03:33
MarkDudeLike stereotype stuff, that is actually popular03:33
LancelotI was confused when you said you gave out lots of hugs03:34
valorieMarkDude and I are both straight, if you are wondering03:34
valorieI'm a PFLAG mom03:34
MarkDudeYMCA, Raining men, etc. I kid you not- most people just had a really great sense of humor03:34
valorieusually Seattle PFLAG gives out round pink stickers which everyone wants, which say "You are loved by PFLAG"03:34
valorieI decided to just give hugs instead03:34
MarkDudeHugs are better than stickers03:35
valoriewe gave out stickers as well03:35
valorieif you search flickr for Seattle Pride, you'll see lots of pix03:35
valorieor Seattle PFLAG03:35
MarkDudeThe hug thing- is a being supportive thing, basically, I don't care what your personal deal is, I accept you 03:36
MarkDudeNot to answer for you val03:36
valorieright you are03:36
valoriejust people I felt wanted the hugs03:36
MarkDudelol03:37
valorieand a few whispered to me "how did you know I needed this?"03:37
MarkDudeNo forced hugging- of course03:37
valoriewhich makes me tear up03:37
MarkDude:)03:37
valorieall that lovin' is tiring though03:38
MarkDudeWell it is important - more so in some cities. I have a friend that grew up in small town Nevada, she had never been in a place she could be herself03:38
valorieI came home and fell asleep last night03:38

MarkDudeI posted link on FB- I will send to you03:43
valoriethanks03:44
MarkDudeJust sent it03:44
MarkDudeI had someone give me a bad time for it03:44
valoriereally?03:45
MarkDudeI always thought they were gay heroes- to some extent, like Peppermint Patty03:45
MarkDudeI mean to me I knew they were gay- before I knew what it meant03:45
MarkDudeThen again, I went to I'm ok - You're ok preschool03:46
valorieright -- I'm not much into labeling, but on the other hand, I grew up before Stonewall, so I had very limited knowledge about the world03:46
MarkDudeI think there is a certain amount of matter of fact with it. At least in the pond I am in03:47
* MarkDude never uses gay as pejorative - just as adjective03:48
Lancelotthat's why we have the word "ghey"03:51
Lancelotit takes over the pejorative role03:55
Lancelotand everyone stays happy03:56
valorieright, I grew up in a fundamentalist right-wing pond03:56
Lancelotish03:56
valoriesince it sounds the same, it is the same, to me03:56
valoriebetter retired as an insult, all together03:56
valorieI prefer shakespearean insults when they are called for, anyway03:57
valoriemore creativity, and more fun03:57
MarkDude+1 to the Bard04:02
