Thoughts on Pride
I was at the training and sign up session for Pride volunteers last night, and was really blown away! While I have been at almost every Pride since I moved back to Pittsburgh in 1987, it was the first year I have volunteered. What an amazing mix of people of different ages, races, and genders! I met a women named Jill from Greensburg who has come to Pittsburgh specifically to help with Pride. That may seem like a long way to go simply to be out, but she explained that for her it was about getting connected to other people. I thought that was just awesome.
As a group, we walked the street to be aware of where everything will be, and even though I knew roughly where the boundaries were, I was amazed at how many blocks it really all takes. Pittsburgh Pride is absolutely huge providing something for everyone.
Hope to see you this weekend!
