10 photos from Seattle’s 2010 Gay Pride Festival and Parade
Pride was a few weeks ago in Seattle, and while we really haven’t had much of a summer (as we’d been promised) it didn’t stop folks from stripping down, dancing in the streets, and being freely and gloriously exactly who they are. Rand and I popped down to see the parade and enjoy the festivities, and while I could spend hours trying to describe the inclusive, loving feeling that was hovering around Seattle Center on that day, I think photos probably do a better a job. Here are my top ten pictures from Seattle’s 2010 Gay Pride festival and parade.
1. A rainbow flag flies atop the Space Needle (for the first time, ever).
I love you, Seattle, like no other.

2. The t-shirt my hubby wore to pride.
Respect, yo.
–
3. Man shows off his python (make up your own joke).
He was quite friendly and bore a striking resemblance to L.L. Cool J.
–
4. Rainbow balloon cluster
Yay! Conservatives might have guns and cornbread, but we've co-opted balloons!
–
5. Man dressed in fatigues, carrying a rainbow flag.
I'm not actually sure if he is/was in the military. He certainly looked authentic.
–
6. Man in newspaper gown and headdress.
Eat your heart out, Scarlett O'Hara.
–
7. The Flying Spaghetti Monster
I was touched by his noodly appendage.
–
8. Ruby red sneakers
"There's no place like Seattle. There's no place like Seattle. There's ... actually, Portland, OR, and Vancouver, BC are quite similar."
–
9. Robin, Supergirl, The Riddler, and Batman.
Best. Costumes. Ever. (Not pictured: Catwoman)
–
10. Rainbow socks and fishnets
And Converse ...
