Happy Pride, bitches

Another year, another Pride Parade in downtown Orlando!

I always wait until the last minute to figure out what I’m doing for Pride. I never really do the parties or anything, that’s just not my jam, but I’ve had a lot of success in just randomly posting on Facebook and asking people if they’ll let me tag along. And in true form, a post the day before the parade totally scored me a spot on a float again, but this time it was the official Come Out With Pride float near the front of the line. Which is a total score, as the parade can sometimes be a day-long affair.

I dusted off my old inflatable muscle suit, through on some earrings and some big glasses, and a glitter beard, and called it a day! I got to scoot over on a little scooter to try to find the float which is when my friend John Ryan snapped the photo above. I looked like an old school circus strongman with a kid bike under my butt - classic. I should have stayed on the scooter for the whole trip.
