May stretched into June and, of course, the end of June in SF always means Pride! Was an exclamation point necessary? I'm not sure, however, here are all our pics - this year's pride was more subdued especially compared to 2004 when Lawrence came out and there was a real air of optimism. Appropriately, this year's theme: "Where Do We Go Now?" or was it, "What next?" or "Now What?" Ah, the gays and drama - hand-in-hand!

Spencer, me, Max, Ryan and Zach in front of City Hall.

 

 

Micheal and Austin - clearly, their shirts indicate no messages, implied or otherwise!

 

Max and Moi!

 

 

Renee and Spencer - Beads and all. Everytime I see Renee I think Tenenbaum - but why?

 

This is classic Jesse and Zach - I do believe there is a frozen alcohol drink in that cup...

 

 

Most of Pride Sunday involves a parade and then the big fete at City Hall - that being said most of Pride Sunday is spent looking for friends and milling about. Here, we got David and his Sis, Matt and Max. After this photo was taken we scattered!

 

 

Spencer does look happy - I think it was in reaction to the stirring rendition of "Bright Sunshine-y Day" that was belted out as part of the half-time show.

 

 
 
 

During the parade, Ryan and Austin.

 

Tsk-Tsk Mr Matt!

 

 

Alas, another group shot!

 

Max, Aaron and Jon!

 

 

 

Zach and my feet - actually this picture is from Bay to Breakers but eh.

 

 

Max, Spencer and Zach (see above for commentary).

 

 

Baloons seemed too colorful a distraction for me to pass up!

 

And, as you may be able to tell, the Fog (not the evil type by most measures) caught up with Pride and found us too at City Hall. Katsu and his friend and moi enjoy the last picture of this year's Pride.
