It’s Friday morning and I’m flipping between work emails and Tweetdeck when I see the news – the Supreme Court decided Obergefell v. Hodges!
Suddenly gay marriage is now legal in all 50 states, and employers have to provide equal benefits for all same-sex partners.
The texts, IMs, and Facebook posts flood in, and Twitter explodes.
I have a good cry, get retweeted by RuPaul, and then realize that this Gay Pride Weekend was going to be nuts.
And it was.
So, this was going to be the miscellaneous Twin Cities 2010 Pride Pictures post… but turns out that these are some of my favorites!
In addition to the Out Front Minnesota gay marriage crew, we have some deliciously awkward moments. Behold:
Yesterday’s video shoot did not go as planned.
I left work and got my hair fixed in Uptown. The salon was packed with gays and lesbians because everyone needed a hair-update before pride. I almost asked for a cut similar to this lesbian, but I already had a plan for the style that I wanted.
I wait for my stylist for about 30 minutes and awkwardly avoid eye contact with one of my gay professors and his partner. This professor is visibly uncomfortable interacting with gay students outside of school.
The professor is uncomfortable.
I get uncomfortable because he’s uncomfortable.
He gets more uncomfortable…so do I…and it’s just terrible.
