TiNG and I weren't around much this weekend because we were busy enjoying Knoxville Pride! It wasn't a big event

I was SO pleased to see this picture as the one picked to represent our Pride events. As we sat on the square listening to speakers on Saturday I watched this baby being passed from person to person, receiving hugs, kisses, and smiles at every turn. He was adorable. I think that picture speaks volumes about the nature of "normal" homosexual families. The celebration was laid back and mellow. There was only one really flamboyant person in attendance, and he stayed on the fringes of the event for the most part.


We do have some really charismatic organizers and advocates, and I think slowly but surely progress will be made in recognizing and accepting diversity in our community.

Thanks Pam! We had a blast and Kirche is getting more and more relaxed about it all and that means the world to me!
