D.C. Pride 🏳️🌈
I'm already having pride withdrawal😞 Every year, pride weekend is my most anticipated weekend. This year was by far THE best. I went with a genuine group of friends for the first time. And I say first time because in the past for the most part, the people who have gone with me only went BECAUSE OF ME. Which don't get me wrong it's still awesome. BUT to go with people who really honestly wanted to be there. It was amazing. The parade was amazing. I took my son and little brother to the parade. To take my outgoing, loving son was the besttttt experience ever. To see him absorb all the love he was receiving. He's at that tender age where the world is still new enough to be shaped into something beautiful. And to be able to have shown him that there's so much love in this world. And that there is nothing wrong with love. It was amazing. I wish I would have taken more pictures. The entire weekend was absolutely amazing. I can't say it enough. I got sun burnt and give no fucks. To just walk around and see how many people truly support the LGBTQ community. I mean I saw regular families just on a Sunday outing enjoying the free festival, like nothing. Because love is love and there is nothing wrong with it. But yet for so many people(my parents included) believe it is the worst thing ever. But Honestly I could have just sat there and absorbed allll of the love. It was amazing. This year was amazing, the absolute best. The hardest part wasn't the fact that it was over but having to explain to a happy four year old that he can't bring his rainbow stuff inside the house because my mother will kill me. He legit told me "Rainbows make people happy" But I can't help but think that in the next years it'll only get better 😩
