Yesterday, T and I spent the morning making scones and watching a serious documentary highlighting the trials and tribulations of bringing a show to broadway….yes, we watched The Muppets Take Manhattan.  Enjoying some fresh cranberry scones hot out of the oven, we sat in front of the TV and geared up for what would be a wonderful and hot afternoon outdoors.

We hopped in the jeep and headed downtown to attend the DC Pride Festival that took over about five city blocks.  The sun was out and with only an occasional cover of cloud we spent most of the day under the sun’s warming rays.  We both had hats on which made the heat less intense but there was so much to see and do (definitely much to see!! ) the heat was barely a distraction.

We spent a few hours walking and looking at the exhibits.  We listened to a performance from the Gay Men’s Chorus of DC and a few songs from BETTY.  Apparently they are famous, though I’d never heard of them before.  A few underwear models made their way through the crowd during the day, tanned and toned…a nice sight to see, indeed.  It was nice to walk around together, and publicly display some of our affection.  Not that we have been stopped in the past, nor are we overt when we are out in public, but the feeling of acceptance was something that was tangible yesterday and it made me feel good about who I was, who we are as a couple, and what we all desire as human beings.

Making our way back home, we settled in front of the TV with some pizza and wings to help us enjoy the Tony Awards that were on TV.  Beginning and ending the day with Broadway, with a gay pride celebration to fill our day, it certainly was a gay ol’ time!
