Pride 2012

"Gay O.K." at American Apparel

This morning I walked down University Avenue, the main street in downtown Palo Alto. One store had decked out its window display for Pride. American Apparel had its gay t-shirts prominently displayed. A couple other stores had colorful rainbow-type displays but not enough to give it a gay vibe.  Palo Alto is still a gay friendly community.  Two years ago I wrote a blog entry about how supportive the city is. The entry is still relevant even though a number of businesses have changed hands, closed or new ones opened. Read it here.

This weekend we are attending San Francisco Pride. In fact, we will be marching in the Gay Pride Parade. We will be with the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus contingent. We will wave to you!

The Gay Men’s Chorus just had their Pride Concert at Calvary Presbyterian Church in San Francisco. Here are a couple concert videos:
