Raising the Pride Flag

For the second consecutive year, with hopefully many more years to come, the pride flag has been raised at town hall. I do wish the Canadian flag in the high background was more visible, but it is what it is. For a few brief minutes those in attendance stopped traffic, but most drivers were good about it.





Born this way and love in our hearts.




Sue came wrapped in and bearing the flag.



This gave her the opportunity to hobnob with event organizers.



And to pose for pictures with friends afterwards.



Heather, with her flag, took a moment to gaze upon our lovely river.



Sue and Heather even walked on the rainbow carpet (on the previous day).



The actual festival will occur next weekend.

I like those Romanesque arches and the flags. That's a keeper of a shot. :) Sue looks good too...she is a keeper also. :)

The Pride Flag is the most beautiful of all.

A good thing to do. I like the contrast between the flags and the architecture.

My church had a booth at the first ever Pride Fair here in my county. It was well attended. I missed it being in Buffalo helping daughter move.

I love the socks of one of the organisers. They are perfect!

Just another reason why I love Canada. You show unity and love while we in the United States are bombarded with hatred and racism and where does it come from ... the very top. If he wins in 2020 I'm heading your way.

Good stuff! All good except the benighted Anglican church bishops.

That is so joyous, isn't it? We can celebrate our humanity.
