It's nice to see the stigma surrounding homosexulaity gradually fading away, at least in this part of the world.

Shows that Vancouverites just want to have fun, and are not bothered by the differences that can potentially separate us.

It brings a wee tear to my eye. I wish I could have heard Jason's speech; maybe I'll make him do it for me when he gets here. Thanks for your encouragement and kind words. You're the sweetest little thing, Nicole, and I love you too! Gay pride in Lethbridge?! It brings a wee tear to my eye.

However, I'm proud to say I DID get to partake in Lethbridge's FIRST EVER gay pride weekend recently. Jason gave a speech that was very moving and inspirational. I love him, and you would have loved hearing it. It's good to see that while it's not yet worldwide, even seemingly backwards places like Lethbridge, Alberta can take at least one weekend to raise a rainbow flag at City Hall and celebrate in the name of equality. This is an excellent piece, Sarah. Have I told you lately that I love you? I’m incredibly jealous that you got to partake in this festive occassion.
