It's just Photoshop, dear

There was a counter-protest of about 25 old white people that we saw on our way back to the car. They had a microphone and were shouting some miserable shit.

We passed by them, smiles and joy, and this guy with his dog stopped to greet us. He smiled to us rolled his eyes at the protesters, and we nodded in agreement.

I said “Well it is obvious who’s having more fun!” And the guy had the best huge belly laugh at that. I mean, they were crotchety old people with police officers patrolling them to make sure they didn’t do anything (not that they could, most had walkers and were a million years old). They could NOT crush our spirit for the day.

I actually had never been to one before, and I was really looking forward to it.

We had a lot of fun, it was sunny, and really full of good energy.

I had a big tulle rainbow skirt, with a rainbow wrap to keep the sun off. I was giving away flags and rainbow leis and other rainbow items to basically anyone I saw who clearly were there because they wanted to be, but didn’t think to dress up.
