  2. “Here comes that Catholic guilt” LOL. Falling on my head like a mammary…

    I so need an Andy in my life.

    • You just need to cut down on the breast-beating, @deli-twotone; stop cupping the guilt to your bosom and make room for a bra’d-er range of new emotion. It’s A way to B at peace with yourself – C, D?

  4. yes. This.
    Me instead of cruising and getting laid my true nature gets in the way. At Pride I spent my time chatting up with vendors and their various causes.

    Although I did discover a way to meet couples and friends.

    Offer to take their picture. Yup in a era of the selfie offer to take the non selfie for them. If you see someone in the midsts of a selfie pose walk up and offer to take their picture with their device.

    Take a lot. Not just the pose take them in their getting ready for it take a bunch when they aren’t expecting it. and when you are done you can use my line. “ I’m sorry I may have used up all of your film”. You may be lucky and capture their true selves.

    Or you may capture a nice hookup.
    I did. 🥰

    • Wait Paulala you look familiar I could swear we danced together at NYC pride a few years ago on the pier?? It was your first pride??

      • Dani it was my first time at Albany’s Pride. I live here and Us locals call it Smallbany and it’s where all my Ex-es hang out, so I usually go to Boston. Also I have family there to stay with and that helps.

        I’ve never been to a NYC pride celebration either. Ever. So it mustn’t have been me you’ve danced with but I like the thought of it.
