“Pride”
Robert and I drove up to Atlanta last weekend for the city’s 2025 Pride Festival and Parade. This year‘s theme was …
So Robert and I joined 999,998 friends on the sidewalks of Midtown Atlanta (two blocks from our neat little Airbnb) to watch seemingly endless bands, floats and various parade entries saunter down Atlanta’s famed Peachtree Street.
If you know, anything about Pride celebrations, you may be wondering why Atlanta Pride is held in October rather than the traditional month of June. It’s a Southern thing: the weather is simply far too hot in June.
There were quite a few political candidates running for various offices marching in the parade. But interestingly enough, all Democrats, not a single Republican bothered to show up and support gay rights.
The parade and the day exploded with joyous fun, camaraderie and much inclusive love.

Yes, it actually went beautifully. There was one small group of anti-gay protesters, but they were quiet and only held up very ugly signs. They were basically ignored.

Fun pictures….Thanks for sharing. You two are the master travelers! Glad you had a happy Pride celebration. I’ve see. many pictures of happy Pride celebrations this year. This is good. “Stay happy. Stay healthy. Forget to be afraid.”. (my favorite psychologists always end their podcast with that good advice.)
