So I will admit that I don't really like to put up a bunch of Photo posts togther but I really have no choice. On Saturday I was just going to go up and watch the march and go home.
(e:heidi) was having people over for it and it turned into a very nice time. I met some new people and it was nice. I don't think I could remember all of their names but in any event here are the pictures.
At the street festival for Pride we ran into
(e:chico).
Then It was back to
(e:Heidi)'s Place. I forgot to mention that
(e:lauren) was there also . I thought you could tell from the dog and the picture of her. One thing about Pride was that I saw some really nice ink. But It would have been weird to just walk up to chick and go "Ok I know this is kinda weird but I love your chest piece can a take a Picture of it" In some cases on an arm it wouldn't be so odd but it still would be like way to creepy............
That Tea place was pretty cool, I just couldn't handle anything else at that time. I noticed I don't think I really got any pictures of the people I didn't know. I'm pictured out. Not sure if my next post should be the Stripteasers, Fudgy Chewy, The Stamplickers or if I should try to put them all in one huge, estrip Huge, post or break it up or jump into pride Pictures, hey if anyone reads this or cares let me know, I'm not sure what the best way to do this is. Oh yeah and sorry about the mis understanding and getting seperated. I"m not sure but I think I saw the girl who was with her freinds on the strip twice today, how do a breach that, go Hey are you and then try to find the picture, plus she was with a guy so he might read into more or what ever. Again not sure if it was her or not. Again it was a great time thanks.
In terms of the companies I'm not sure. I think that some companies all the care about is the money and it doesn't matter who's money it is they don't care about you. Then you have some companies that do care about the people they sell to. It is to tough to know really. I admit I hope Frito Lay does and think that they might. The reason being is them and Pepsi and all one Giant Huge company and Pepsi does have that refresh everything promotion, where they give people money for good ideas. I don't know if they really want a better world or if they think if they look like they do they will get more sales it is hard to know.....
In Terms of McDonalds, I haven't seen the ad so I can't say. What I will say is that I think, they think if it ran here they would lose a lot of customers.
This reminds me of a post I wrote on here and for facebook as well. I don't know if this would work, but I think the way to get gay Marriage legal in many states, maybe all of them and maybe nationally is to get a lot of companies to see that gay Marriage would increase their profits. Some places there would be no way to prove this, but anyplace that ties into to weddings like target or other places would be a start.
I also wonder if like HSBC for example where there more to say, we don't discriminate and welcome everyone into the work place?
It is tough to know really? I hope everyone enjoyed the pictures anyways......
I agree with you Peter, both about annoying parade goers, and about the politicians...and I would add the same for any corporation like Frito Lay. I can't help but think that they don't care about gay people, they care about gay people's money. Have you seen the "gay" McDonald's add that is all over youtube? It plays in france, but not in America. Why? Because it wouldn't make McDonald's any money here...but if they were really pro gay, they would play it anyway. So yeah, thanks for the pics :)
I never trust hem either. The politicians that is.
