On the first of June, a few dozen folk gathered across from town hall to raise the Pride flag. We put on our celebratory colours and joined them.
Sue being Sue, got right into the mix.
Linda being Linda, outdid all. Not your typical town councillor.
The police showed their support.
The flag was raised.
Indeed, you are welcome here.
Sue and John took their required selfie.
And . . . a Sue special . . .

Nice showing of support! How everyone's personality dictates their outfits!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a lovely civic group activity, low key, and yet fun. I guess I need to get some colorful things going somewhere too. Love seeing your selfie, as usual!
ReplyDeleteThat's very cool. I like seeing that in a community -- and you all look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteGood to see.
ReplyDeleteMore and more I'm regretting our decision not to immigrate to your country. We applied and were accepted in 1971, but decided against because of wife's school. I fear we'll be a radically different country after November.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a fabulous day. Of course, you and Sue look like shining stars!
ReplyDeleteWe have come such a long way in this regard over our lifetimes. That's how society changes, by making friends and reaching out. It's a shame that so many so-called religious people are currently uncomfortable with the very words of Jesus that they call liberal talking points. All of us together must defeat the excluders by maintaining and fostering our humanity and that of our neighbors and society.
ReplyDeleteLove the colors and the councilor's outfit--very supportive! I fear for our country's freedoms lately and especially if you-know-who is elected, which I think could very well happen :(
ReplyDeleteGlad your community hosted such a positive event. And that's a great (colourful) selfie!
ReplyDeleteGreat to support Pride!
ReplyDeleteYou look fabulous. Happy Pride month!
ReplyDeleteBrought tears to my eyes, with all the crap going down in your southern neighbor. Happy Pride Indeed!
ReplyDeleteYou looked great! Loved the officer's uniform too.
ReplyDeleteThat is a day of colour. Great people shots
ReplyDeleteApplauding!
ReplyDeleteMore of this in the world, please.
ReplyDeleteI like your outfit! Like commenter above, I am afraid of what will happen to our country come November. Scary times down here.
ReplyDeleteVery good.
ReplyDeleteNice to see a pleasant gathering of supportive people. It's a breath of fresh air compared to some gatherings in this area. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteNashua, NH, also has a Pride Day which is sometime in June and the highlight is a parade down Main St.
ReplyDeleteHaving a gay granddaughter, I really appreciate this.
ReplyDeleteGOOD for your police. And I think you look very festive. Linda made it to our Open House yesterday and her costume was even more elaborate and memorable.
ReplyDeleteI just love that your town is showing so much support for gay pride acceptance.
