Peaceful parade

Saturday was Southern Oregon's 1st Gay Parade held in downtown Ashland.



And guess what? There were no protests! Everyone got along peacefully!




Everyone was smiling and laughing and having a good time.




There were people of all ages. Young to old.


I was very happy to hear that there was no ugliness at the parade. Looks like more and more people are opening their closed minds and seeing for themselves that love is love.


By the way there have been some really good guesses to the egg thief. Keep it up. Contest ends Friday! And yes of course you can enter as many times as you want.


Until next time.............................



A first for Southern Oregon

This coming Saturday, October 9th, in Ashland Oregon, will be the regions FIRST gay pride parade!! I was going to yack about something else, but the article in the online local newspaper caught my attention. A big smile crossed my face when I read the article. It is expected that 300 people are going to attend. Possibly more!  Sadly I am sure there will be protesters and hope the event doesn't ugly. In past years I have seen the Gay Parade in San Francisco and to be honest, the air is filled with such fun and loving energy from those participating in the parade. The smiles are contagious!!!


I'm sure this post may offend some readers, and if you choose to no longer read my blog, well, I'll take it as you just not liking what you see and wanting to change the channel because you have a choice, but in my eyes, love is love whether it be heterosexual or homosexual. So long as both parties are of legal age.


Until next time....................
