Taste of Minnesota July 4th Fireworks

Gay Pride Parade

Wow. Now that's an outfit. After all these years, this was the first time I've seen the Gay Pride Parade. I was working for Coca Cola: they were handing out Coke Zero along the route.

After a few conversations today, I looked up the origin of the Parade. If you get a chance read the Wikipedia entry on the Stonewall Riots.
