I Spent the day walking in the Manhattan Gay Pride Parade with Team Yassky. Gay and straight, young and old, every race and ethnicity, people from all walks of life came out to celebrate the 40 year anniversary of the Stonewall riots and the progress that’s been made since. Part of me wants to comment on the sheer size and diversity of the crowds- but in truth, I don’t find it all that remarkable. Perhaps it’s a consequence of spending 4 years living in New York City, perhaps it can be attributed to the generation that I hail form, a generation that has made it all too clear that gay right’s isn’t a wedge issue, it’s a non-issue.

In any event, it was truly a wonderful experience.

Happy Pride Day everyone.
