This weekend my partner and I went to the local pride parade. It was the first time we'd watched this parade; last year we marched in it with her church. We'd been to other larger parades, but this was a different experience (although still quite fun).
As my partner put it, the parade wasn't as queer. There weren't very many 'queer' groups; there was 1 leather group and 2 motorcycle clubs. Most of the parade was church groups, school/youth groups, PFLAG and similar. The only topless/nearly-naked people were 2 people on one bar's float (the other people on the bar floats were all clothed!).
It was a nice parade, and it's good to see more mainstream LGBT groups, but I can't wait to go to the much larger nearby parade in a couple weeks and enjoy its queer wonderfulness.
