I honestly love this post. I have yet to attend a pride parade, but one is coming up next month close to me & I sure wish I could go.

@Madstack of Mac ! I am so glad it resonated with you. Honestly, that is THE reason I was wanting to share it (and have been reposting on notes forums, especially this month!), I just want to not only celebrate the community and share my experience that day, but to also just (hopefully) encourage anyone (LGBTQIA or not!) to GET THERE to any Pride Parade they can… when I say it was a life-changing experience, I am not exaggerating. I have always been an ally and staunch supporter, but after that day, something on a cellular changed in me… I am a devoted “follower”, the way they lead with love (for all), it is so rare. And needed now more than ever. I am learning. Please try to get there to that parade! And keep me posted! Thank you for reading (I am new here!)
