So Rosie the Dog came home for a visit to attend the Greensboro Pride Festival which was on Saturday.
Rosie was accompanied by her emotional support humans, son Dean and friend Jan. And I joined them as well in my role as "honorary gay".
It was an event filled with joy, love and kindness.
Except of course for the alleged "Christians".
As always at these events, there was some small bedraggled contingent yelling their judgement that we're all going to hell if we don't turn to Jesus Christ.
If Jesus showed up, he would cross the street to get away from you self righteous pricks. Jesus would find more like minded people on stage with the drag queens.
(Speaking of Jesus showing up, that rapture thing from yesterday was a bust. Unless Jesus did show up and no one qualified for rapturing.)
I tried to be a good ally but damn, it was too hot and too loud and too crowded.
I hate to admit this but I left Rosie and her emotional support humans to explore the Pride event as I returned to my car. The heat and the noise were a bit much for me and I was feeling dizzy.
The important thing is that Rosie along with Dean, Jan and other friends they met up with were having a good time in an environment that was welcoming and safe.
In our current political climate, that kind of resource, that kind of community is a precious thing.
