Happy Pride Month, everybody! I had a great time this past weekend during Capital Pride. On Saturday I interpreted for the DC Dyke March, and then participated in the march itself; you can check out pictures from that here; in the one with Dillon I’m the one in the yellow shirt and blue jeans. After the Dyke March I went over to the DC Eagle for some workshops given by a member of the local deaf leather community. I wanted to go to the big parade but I was exhausted from not sleeping well the previous night (the sunburn I got while interpreting didn’t help either) so I just headed home.
On Sunday I went to the big Pride block party. There’s nothing like celebrating your homosexuality literally in the shadow of the Capitol building! I managed to keep my spending to $10 - split between a donation to a cat-related charity, and purchasing a dog tag with the leather pride flag on it. I got to get up on the Main Stage - at Capital Pride! - to interpret for one of the performers, who I worked with before on the RSVP cruise last year.
Metro Weekly’s hardest-working photographer, Ward, was at both events…I can’t wait to see the pictures posted on the MW website!
