2014 DC Gay Pride Parade!

And now, the Pride Parade Pictures (with comments where necessary). (Scroll down to see the write up about this after the pics)

Josh having his mom take his pic at DuPont Circle

We sat at our space along the street until they put the barriers up.  I was sitting in the empty space, but I was the only one getting a blast of sun.  And it was hot.  So I moved.

Derick's awesome bootie.

The four of my traveling companions.

Me attempting to take a five of us photo.  My huge noggin blocked out the ladies.

Oops

The gay guys on our trip.

The goofy gay guys on our trip.

The Ladies Auxiliary.

Dykes On Bikes.  They always lead the parade (ladies first and all that).

This really hot guy and his, well I assume, wife.  They had a young boy with them in his stroller.  When we were going back down the Metro escalator, they were behind us.  The kid was sucking on his bottle and he was the cutest thing.  He and Derick kept making faces at each other and laughing.  So anyway, CC at one point was talking to him and said, "I bet I can guess your name.  Is is Wyatt?"  And the mother kinda freaked out.  What she forgot was his name was taped on his bottle.  We all laughed.  Quite funny.  The guy was seriously hot, though.

A band wearing purple shirts.

One guy even had a purple trombone!


The back of the grand marshal: Chris Kluwe.  He's an outspoken straight ally, and a punter for the Minnesota Vikings.  I missed a photo of his front, but he's got a nice hairthing.


Gay cops.

Gay cops and their husbands (and possibly a son?).  Love it.

Eleanor Holmes Norton.  I LOVE her.  She's DC's non-voting representative in The House Of Representatives.  She's walked in nearly every one of these I've been to.  She walks the parade route.  Almost two miles this year.  And she's 76 years old.  And she walks the parade route.  In June.  In DC.  At 76 years of age!  She's the only national politician ever in the parade.  I LOVE her!

Some cute kids from a private school that embraces gay rights.


Hot guy with flag, but no face.

Hot guy with flag, side view.

Strippers behinds.  And cute Asian spectator.

A whole passel of drag queens!

Now THAT my friends, is a wig!

The group from my local gay bar, The Lodge!


They had to stop momentarily in front of us.  This cutie saw me taking the previous pics so he stopped and shaked his bootie for me!  And when he finished, he looked back at me smiling. I thanked him, he waved and off he went.


I dont know how she was doing it, but this lady had this dog riding a scooter type of thing!

Sexy guy in bunny ears working it!

Sweet bootie and flag.

Cute blond guy in front, sexy black guy in short shorts in back.

This guy looked a lot like the bearded drag queen who won the Eurovision contest.  And seriously, those heels!  Two miles in those heels!



The angel in front was pretty cute.  But again, those pink heels!


I think this was a grooming company, who's slogan was, "We Like Big Mutts!". hahaha...

Really cute spectator.

Best Bus: Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert!

These guys were pulling this truck.  It took eight of them.



I was trying to get a good shot of the cutie in the purple shorts, but the other guy with the hair saw my camera and stopped when I snapped it.  I thanked him he waved and off he went.

He too saw me with the camera and stopped his dancing while I took the pic.

We had and AWESOME place to stand.  This group had to stop for a few minutes directly in front of us!!!  Be prepared for many photos of these sexy, scantily clad men!












Oops, Part 4.
