We had a somewhat subdued Capital Pride this year.
Sure, there was drag brunch and meet-ups with fair-weather friends who only come out during holidays. But I refused to make any substantive plans for the weekend and declined a few invitations. Although this was anti-social, I have no regrets because I gained the flexibility to skip the parade (due to heat) and most of the festival (due to rain.) What privilege.
One thing that we did make time for is taking photos with these ridiculous rainbow balloons that I bought from Safeway. Because…why not?

Michael and the dogs near the D.C. Chinatown Friendship Archway near Gallery Place.

Perhaps I’ll be more in the pride festival mood next year. If not, there’s always traveling, or just working over the weekend. 🌈
