Mixed reactions

Today usually provokes a mixed response... I'm happy to see the expressions of pride and community and love and the free expression of these. While at the same time, at a personal level reminding me that I'm marginal, an outsider. Too mundane to be at a Pride parade, too weird to be welcomed enthusiastically in parent groups or at church... not fitting well anywhere, really.
I hope that my many participating friends have a beautiful day marching or watching, as well as those up at the Loving More conference at Harbin. For me, I'll be at home working on rewiring electrical circuits and fixtures...

Date: 2004-06-28 03:05 pm (UTC)"Wow, that looks like fun!" I also justify it with, "It's good that bisexuals are visible," but I can't think of a single year that either straight or gay allies haven't been marching with the bi group.
And again, this year we had the giant pile of polyamorists behind us.
