I had a great time at the Stockholm Pride parade this afternoon, the weather was lovely and everyone was so happy and excited. This was the first pride parade I've ever been to, and it was much more family-friendly than I expected. Sure, there were plenty of mostly-naked, glitter-covered people in platform shoes, a couple of boobs and butts here and there, and the occasional gyrating party boy swinging from the top of a truck. But, the majority of people in the parade were quite honestly not that interesting or different than anyone else: smiling parents with chubby toddlers waving rainbow flags, grandmothers, grandfathers, giddy dancing teenagers, teachers, police officers, doctors, nurses, church members, people with disabilities, politicians, and every other type of person you could imagine.
"Proud parents of homosexual sons and daughters"
I was amazed by all the people dancing the entire 4-hour parade route in the craziest, tallest high heels imaginable.
