It’s almost here!! Will anyone be attending?! It truly is one of the coolest things I’ve ever been to. And this year I have been asked to march! I am not sure if I will or not yet, but I’m definitely going!! I’ve been looking forward to this all year!! No kids this year. Just the misses and myself. 

 

Crazy outfits, 150k+ people, free shows, great food, parade, and an all round amazing experience. I recommend going if you can!! And if you’re looking for that “first time out” “dare to be great” moment well this can be it!! Nobody will even notice you at Pride. Boys are girls. Girls are boys. Everyone loves whoever they want. It’s truly an awe inspiring experience. 

 

Plus I’ll be there! ?. I’d love to meet up with anyone who is going. Please let me know!

It sounds like fun! When is it?  What dates?  I was just in MA this past weekend, so not sure that I can get back up again.

I'll be there on Saturday the 8th for the parade -- and checking out all the info booths from supportive organizations!  Also hoping to attend a concert by LGBTQ composers tomorrow night, June 1st (another event in Pride week).

 

Got hooked on Boston Pride last year, when I was part of the Yes on 3 canvassers who walked up to total strangers and asked for their support for trans rights.  No way I'm gonna miss it ?

 

PM me if you want to meet up, and we'll figure something out. 

 

Now -- what to wear?? <grin>

Oh, I am so disapointed!  I wish I had known!  I would have tried to come up this weekend or next weekend.  I will definitely keep in mind for next year.

Glad that PHX does their Pride in April.  Cause it's already in high 90's to 100 here in PHX.  But I miss Pride.  I am thinking on heading up to Flagstaff for the Pride up in Flagstaff AZ

I will. I’m not sure how long I am required to be with my work group. It says it’s 11-4 but the parade isn’t that long. So I’m not sure if there’s other requirements for the day. 

 

I finally did sign up so I am marching! And my wife will be coming as well. I think it’ll be really cool! 

We have some friends going as well so it should be a fun day altogether. And it’ll be cool to get some pics marching. I really can’t wait!

The parade is this coming Saturday. There were some shows and parties (high heeled race) this past weekend, and there’s some parties during the week this week as well. Dances, club takeovers, etc... but the main stuff will be this coming Saturday.

Found some of my outfit for Pride! I am beyond excited!

ill also have a rainbow of clip in hair extensions in, and a rainbow bow to hold it all back. My eye makeup is gonna be a kind of rainbow of eyeshadow with some glitter and bright pink lips I think. And multi colored polish as well.  But no heels. There’s too much walking so it’ll be sneakers for footwear. I will bring some heels in case we hit a club at night. But for the parade and the afterparty it’s all about comfy. 

 

My wife is going to be in a solid purple thule skirt with her ally tee and some crazy leggings. Similar hair and I’ll be doing her makeup as well!! 

 

Did i I mention how freaking excited I am!?! Wooooooo!!!

Haha. I hope so Astrid! I am definitely not going for the blending in look. ?. But it’s gonna be a blast!! Pride is like a trans girls Halloween the way I see it. So I’m dressing up. 

 

And hey, if we meet up I’ll be easy to find! Maybe. Lol.

      Very, very true.  The number of murders committed by strangers in 2022 was only about 10 percent, per the FBI.   Carolyn Marie

      Courageous film maker, and amazing subjects.  That is an incredible journey to make in so many ways.  Thanks for sharing the link, @Davie.   Carolyn Marie

      Good afternoon everyone,   I often wondered why @April Marie and @Willowgot up so early in spite of being retired. Now that I have my own puppy as a house pet I get it. We haven't had dogs since before my oldest granddaughter was born 22 years ago this September. I've always had working hunting dogs, and it was important they became acclimated to the current weather conditions. While the kennels had large outdoor runways, they also had pet passes into the somewhat temperature controlled garage. Yes, they were allowed in the house but only for short periods of time. Fast forward to present time, and I'm potty training a puppy as well as crate training. The first night Parker Von Schwinegruber, slept from 10:30 until 05:30. Last night we went to bed and 10:30 and he started making noise at 05:00. Since I don't want to test his ability to hold his business, we got up and went outside. He took care of business and we went back to sleep. This time he had a dental chew bar and I filled his water bowl. We cat napped until 08:00 and then got up for the day taking him immediately outside. He took care of business, and we played fetch and tug of war with his now favorite puffball. We came in and I put him back in the crate positioned so he could see me cook breakfast. Did he NO HE WENT TO SLEEP! We ate breakfast, did the dishes, and finished off the pot of coffee I brewed at 08:00. Once he woke up we stared at one another for about 20 minutes, because he seemed content to be in the crate. I got up and we worked on some obedience training as well as getting into and out of the crate with permission. We don't want him to crash the gate or any doors we will be going through.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I have not heard about it here in California, but then again we have events of various sorts going on very often, and not just in the June Pride Month.  We have Trans Fashion Week going on at a hotel complex over in West Los Angeles for the next three nights featuring shows by Trans fashion designers and modeled by Trans and NB people on the runways there.  I missed a chance for some free tickets and while I know and love many of the participants I do not want to pay for the tickets which will be in the $50 to $75 range, and which at those prices are nearly sold out.  (Not to mention $25 valet parking each night at the venue complex.).  There will be actual high end fashion buyers there though and it is an area where we are gaining some good footing.  I also admit that NONE of the fashions are going to be anything at all that would fit my basic personal style but look fine if not crazy on my much younger Trans siblings who will model them. (Ok everyone else keep on @Mirrabooka's topic.)

      Welcome to TransPulseForums @gizgizgizzie    I hope you find this place as helpful as I do. I’m also in a slow transition living in the androgynous world. I’m out to my grown children and my extended family with mixed support from them. Some have cut me out of their lives and others want me to be their flamboyant family member.    Best wishes, stay positive and motivated    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      To escape Gaza is already an achievement. And then to be trans?’: the women defying national and gender boundaries. https://www.theguardian.com/film/article/2024/may/16/yolande-zauberman-documentary-the-belle-from-gaza-cannes-film-festival

      Accidents happen.  So do heat-of-the-moment murders, without premeditation or trans-related hate.  It will take a trial to really figure it out.     One thing we can see from this is that it is people in our circles of acquaintances, friends, and partners who are the ones who usually hurt us.  Not someone random. We have to be careful who we trust.

      Friday May 17th is IDAHOBIT (International Day Against HOmophobia, BIphobia and Transphobia).   Do you acknowledge or celebrate it? Do you do anything special for it, like taking part in any organized events or activities?   I'm not an activist and I prefer to fly under the radar, but I am slowly becoming aware of important dates. I have been aware of the date of IDAHOBIT for a few weeks now, but other important 'rainbow' dates have not been etched into my brain yet.    I will wear my favorite pride t-shirt as a token acknowledgement of the day, but it probably won't be seen; cool weather here will mean that it will be hidden under a sweater.

      Happiness for me comes from being cognizant of the things that make me feel good.   Sunshine.   Pandering to my inner woman.   Knowing that some people in my life really 'know' me.   Vacations, and Eggs Benedict at an alfresco cafe.   My wife and I being telepathic.   Grandchildren.   Music.   Wine!    
    • Ivy
      True.  Every trans death is not a hate crime. There is so much hate expressed by some people, that we kinda get to expect it.
    • KymmieL
      happiness to me is being ME. At all times, and it has yet to happen.
