Another Pride Surprise

Thom and I stumbled upon the Gay Pride Parade in Burlington, just as Florian and I had done in Palm Springs nearly two years earlier.

This time there were waaaaaay more women (wimmin?) and children.

No doubt this baby will grow up gay if you believe religious conservatives.

We followed the crowd west,  past this Brutalist Episcopal Church . . . 

and a neighborhood skate shop, its aesthetic opposite.

We ended up at a rally, distinguished by its earnestness.  No dancing for these folks, at least not yet.

The park afforded glorious, if overcast, views of Lake Champlain and the Adirondack Mountains beyond.

These out-and-proud participants posed for photos.
