Very Laid Back But Packed To The Gills - Philly Pride 2023
🕑 Added 2023-06-04 18:52:51 +0000 UTCA walk through the tamest Philly Pride Day in my memory... but what it lacked in intensity it overwhelmed in numbers - it was soooo crowded! So many people and nothing going on.... it was weird. I've been going to pride in Philly and NYC for decades but this was something very different from anything I have seen before. No live music, no floats, not bands, no shows, no stages, no craziness. Like a craft fair on steroids. Welcome to the future?

Where do you go if you gotta ...go?

Well, maybe I missed it, but where were the usually reliable "Christians" with their messages of hate on big poster boards? I mean, there's no comic relief at all without at least a few stereotype ignorant haters out there. Maybe they finally got to the part of the Bible that states "Don't do stupid, hateful shit using my name!"
I think it reflects the broader acceptance of LGBTQI people. I think it's nice. They're just regular people like everybody else. Whodathunkit?

Thanks for this, Fran. Actually kinda somber. The commercialization of Pride? SMH.

It is awesome to see how many people out. Kinda feels like they planned an event for way fewer people. And the lack of music is really odd. I'm used to being able to locate a pride event from a distance away by just following the music.

I can't understand why anyone would object to people who are enjoying themselves, being themselves and hurting no one, I guess that's the world we like in, but I wish we didn't.

As an LBGTQ+ supporter, I am sadly still in the minority. In many ways we have never dragged ourselves out of the dark ages have we?

The same gimble I used in DC mounted on a monopod.

Well, I've had to take down ones in the past due to just too many vitriolic comments, so I made this one more disposable.

Why the big change in format?
What are you using to get the "above crowd" video angle?
Entering different times aka "back in my day" aka "shakes fist at kids on my lawn"
