Happy Pride sortof

Usually, the second Saturday would be the Pride parade in Boston.

This year there were virtual things planned, many of which have been shifted to make way for BLM actions, including an actual outdoor march this afternoon supporting Black Trans Lives, although that seems to
have been organized by GLAD and not the Pride committee

That certainly makes sense - Stonewall wouldn't have happened otherwise.

The rainbow flag went up over Boston City Hall as scheduled, and there is a TV show tonight about the 50th anniversary of Pride celebrations in Boston.

Last year was the first time I ever went to a Pride parade. It was nice, and felt meaningful, and I liked it and probably would've tried to do it again. I don't really know how I feel about missing it this year, I think it's lost in the overwhelming numb and sad from EVERYTHING to notice specifically.
