<p>I am going to be giving D1 who is up for the weekend- a ride back home so that I can get her to take some stuff with her!!! :smiley:
, so I won’t be going to the Pride Festival in our city ( although I have gone to PFLAG meetings & wholly support that organization- + now D1 is apparently serious with a young man & his parents are flying her across the country next week for their family 4th of July celebration)-</p>

<p>But I am having my own Pride festival this morning ( and wishing I had time to see this-[formal rugby match](<a href=“http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2012202086_rugby25m.html”>http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2012202086_rugby25m.html&lt;/a&gt;) D2 who is straight- used to play for the high school team & it looks like great fun)</p>

<p>I am watching In & Out - with Kevin Kline- Bob Newhart- Joan Cusack, Tom Selleck et al. I highly recommend it- it is just hilarious. Kevin Kline plays an English lit teacher whose student ( Matt Dillion) thanks him during his Oscar speech as being a gay role model.
Kline didn’t * know* he was gay.

<p>The quotes just keep coming

</p>

<p>Wilford Brimley plays his father.</p>

<p>I really appreciate that at least in our area- we are getting better about supporting all kinds of diversity- and I appreciate even more that it has been sunny all weekend!</p>

<p>Is your area having a Pride Festival?</p>

<p>One of the community theaters that I’m involved with had a pride festival, and I --along with people across the rainbow of sexual orientations-- proudly acted in it including in a role as a lesbian.</p>

<p>I’m active in PFLAG. I’m straight, but not narrow, and flourish in diverse environments.</p>
