Oh wow, did we have an exciting trip to Atlanta! It was GLBT heaven! LOL We got there around lunchtime on Saturday and headed straight for the park where the festival was being held. We spent most of the afternoon shopping and people-watching. We were very pleased to see so many corporations represented. Delta was a huge sponsor and other corporations such as Suntrust Bank and Macy's were represented well. It was also so heart-warming to see so many young children with their gay parents as well as heterosexual parents with their gay children and heterosexuals in general who came out to show their support.

Wow! What a great recap of your experience. I really can't wait to see the pics.
I am so glad that you two were able to make it to Pride.
We used to have protesters years ago. We have now had any protester in years now.
Our Congress Woman Carson on down to our Mayor and reps all come and March in the parade and speak on stage.
Like you said ting, it is a warm feeling.
Ginny gave me a rainbow wrist band and I have worn it ever since the first day she was here. I get alot of acknowledgement now even from hetero's.
I think it is so sweet that you were able to kiss in the rain.
Sounds like you both had such a beautiful trip.
I really cannot wait to see the pics!!!
