Last Friday morning, I was sitting at my desk at The Grind when I noticed an alert on my iPhone.
Wow!!!!
Even though I thought the odds were good that the Supreme Court would rule in favor of same sex marriage, it still seemed remarkable. The cynic in me, which coincidentally comprises 99.9% of my being, never thought that this day would happen in my lifetime. Much to my relief I still have a pulse.
This past Sunday, I attended the Gay Pride Parade on Fifth Avenue with my friend, Milton. The atmosphere, on the heels of this historic ruling, was euphoric. Posted below are some of the more than 1,100 photographs he and I shot of the celebration.
Well said … even if the placard was corporate sponsored.
Manly cake toppers.
Jubilant marcher all wrapped up in the rainbow flag.
Yes, it is!
Dancing in the street and left the baseball cap at home.
Togetherness.
Grand marshal Sir Derek Jacobi.
Grand marshal Sir Ian McKellen.

Bearadonna’s back!
Little kid marching.
Easy rider.

High energy.
Pride pooch.
Everyone is welcome and bring the toucan.
Nice smiles.
Corporate sponsor Chase and an exposed breast: together at last.
One size probably does not fit all.
More what the hell is it?
Flag tossing.
Proud couple.
Hitching a ride.
Dominatrix with riding crop and cellphone pride.
Waving the flag of the Republic of China.
Pucker up.
That time of year to wear the rainbow kilt.
What the hell is this now?
Not so basic black attire.
Statement cape.
Riding in style.
Marchers waving flags.
Gay dads and their wee one.
What you see is what you get: red headdress and stilt walkers.
Japanese Kabuki fan pride.
Novel way to wear football shoulder pads.
Pride hijinks.
Dancing in the street.
Seriously hitched.
Pride and joy and iced tea.
Proud couple.
Then, when it was all over, Milton and I returned to our respective sanctum sanctorums. I began writing this post and he turned on the TV news where he saw who else, but us.

Green Banana, Frank! Is that character the same as the Green Lantern? I can’t keep up with any comic book action heroes beyond my personal favorite, Alfred E. Neuman.
Cheers to the ruling is so true!!!!! No, I didn’t know that you worked with Jim Obergefell. How cool is that! Now, that guy really, truly is an action hero come to life. The New York Times has a wonderful documentary telling the story about the case. It’s an absorbing 13 minutes and 17 seconds if you have the time to tune in:
Parade logistics: it started at noon (around 12:10-12:15 from where we were staked; we arrived at about eleven). We had planned to stay for the entirety, but after standing six and a half hours, my arthritic left knee was nearing its breaking point and my right foot kept falling asleep so much, for all intents and purposes, it had fully entered a coma. In addition, Milton, who suffered his own world of physical pain, was hungry as a bear and a brew. So was I. Even though the end point was nowhere to be seen five and a half hours after it began, we lifted anchor at 5:30 and retreated to a nearby Irish pub to rest and refuel. When we exited at 8:45 it was over by then and that was when I looked up at the beautifully lit Empire State Building.

You’re not kidding: that ruling was a long time coming, but up until a few years ago, I never thought it would be legal in my lifetime. Milton thinks that progress has been happening at warpspeed.

V., in a sense it does seem like this ruling has happened at warpspeed; yet when we look at the sheer numbers of LGBTs, obviously these individuals are not anomalies, so it should have come a long ago, were it not that the narrow minded are also not anomalies.
As for my new (to me) Mac, my love for my previous (G4) and first Mac are just the reason it has taken me so long to get an upgraded one. All the upgrades on my G4 that Theo, my tech guy tried to make, were too advanced for my obsolete G4 to accommodate. He tried for weeks to make things work (it’s a long story, obviously), but couldn’t. So I found a Mac Pro at Mac of All Trades (where my G4 came from), and now Theo is supposedly rewriting software code so that the Mac Pro will accept my ancient software that seemingly has been unearthed from an archaeological dig. Macs are inscrutable, I’ve been told, when it comes to working on them, and that is why many prefer Windows, that anybody can break into. I personally find Wndows and I.E. annoying. Nevertheless, as you say, I refuse to go back. When this is all done, I will thank Theo even if it does thound like I’m lithping.

I think that the more people know someone who is LGBT, the more accepting people are. At this stage it’s impossible to not know someone LGBT. We’re everywhere. The more familiar people are with LGBT people, the more obvious it is that we’re just as dull and ordinary as everyone else.
I hope that Theo can work magic on your new, refurbished Mac!

I’m glad that gay marriage has been legalized. Marriage has been a good thing for me, and I think it could be for other people as well. The bottom line is that the world is a better place when more people are happy.
Selfishly, I’m also hoping that the supreme court’s decision sort of ushers homosexuality into the mainstream so that, like anything else, it can be made fun of again.
Also, it was nice of you to throw a bone (ha!) to heterosexuals by including the pic of the fire-breasts woman. I clicked on that one!

We’re on the same page about the China flag waver, too. My cynic thinks in the land of his ancestors he might have ended up donating both kidneys for that act.
Personally, neither Milton nor I have any plans to marry. At this stage, we’re both so set in our ways, our ideal husband or wife would have to be some extraordinary creature that I don’t think has ever been conceived, much less is in a fifteen year radius of our own age. Still, it’s comforting to know that the option is a reality throughout the country now. We like that. A lot.
Something else we liked a lot is Helen Mirren in The Audience. She was terrific. We also saw Elevator Repair Service’s adaptation of The Sound and the Fury at the Public. For me, that book feels like an assault on my brain. Their adaptation felt the same. In other words: it really works. They are so ambitious! We’re seeing Shows for Days later this week at the Newhouse in Lincoln Center and next month, we’re going to be all over Annie Baker’s latest play, John, at the Signature. I saw The Flick twice.

That’s very true about love, Brig. One of the poignant things about this ruling is that one of the plaintiffs, Jim Obergefell, was fighting to have his state, Ohio, recognize his out-of-state marriage so that his husband’s status would be recorded as married on his death certificate. How wonderful that the SUPCO voted in Jim’s favor but how sad that he couldn’t share it with his deceased husband, John.
Weatherwise, it was a misty and cool Pride. People seemed more cold than hot, but many of the more scantily clad marchers did a lot of running down the route, so that very likely helped keep them warm. I even wore long sleeves and never broke a sweat once. That’s some kind of record for me these days. It definitely wasn’t leather weather for either of us.
