Last weekend I had the chance to go the LGBT Pride Parade. This was a massive event with an estimated 1.2 million people in attendance.
An odd feeling swept over me as I watched the parade. I began to feel deeply patriotic that I am able to live in a country where people are allowed to be free. I went to the parade just looking to have a good time, but I left feeling encouraged by my country and the direction it is heading. This year the parade had a bit of special meaning because the Supreme Court of California recently legalized the marriage of same sex couples.
Congratulations to all the new married couples out there.
