This weekend was such a message to me.
1) Always check in with your friends.
2) All outdoor events suck.
3) Appreciate what you have, and fight for what you don't.
I bitched about the heat, but I was really happy to be there with my friend. I complained about the cover charges, but I knew I was in a bar where people knew me and would take care of me. I know I make fun of the amounts of parades we have in this city, but I live in a diverse city, a city that cares about its diversity. I live in a country where I matter, and when that goes wrong, I have recourse. I live in a world that is increasingly showing itself how every one of us counts.
I live. And I'm proud. Not just to be gay. Not just to black. But to live in a time when every single person on this planet matters. A time when we, as a whole, are finally starting to recognize that. It hasn't happened completely, but it IS happening.
That is my pride.
