Seattle Pride Parade and Festival 2004
Life, Photography 06/27/2004 |All the recent attention on gay rights, marriage, proposed constitutional amendments and the like have directed enough attention on the gay community to allow the Seattle Pride festivities to expand to two days, and I spent some of yesterday and much of today wandering around and enjoying the show.
As always, I took a ton of pictures — 364, in fact, most of which are from today’s Pride Parade. I’ve uploaded the entire kit and kaboodle to my photo gallery — you can start at the beginning, or just click on Miss Broadway to jump straight to the beginning of the parade. Kick back and enjoy!

I thought it was interesting to read in the Anchorage Daily News about Gay Pride Events around the world on Sunday. The thing that I found most interesing was that the Gay Pride parades in both Berlin and Paris were led by those cities’ openly gay mayors. It just makes me think of just how repressed (or is that repressive?) our society can be sometimes. Oh well.

I’m a new member (freak) of Guerilla Masquerade Party, and got to dance with them all the way in Pride. You did a wonderful job taking photos, and I’d like permission to forward the Bunnyfolk shots to Dirty Bunny. Thanks for giving us newbies a chance to see the entire parade, and be well.

IMPORTANT:michaelhanscom my name is Dee on page 12 of your photo gallery for the pride parade there is a picture of me and my two friends sitting on the back of a silver convertable.im the one in drag with the suit on and the fadora on my head, the last person on the left.the pic:6/28/04 11:32:04.let me first say you take very good pictures and i am very impressed with your extensive coverage of this event.but when i happened to stumble apon the photo it made me a little uneasy.i am only 17.i’m worried that somebody that i dont want to see this photo will recognize me.i am not out to alot of people.it may sound foolish after all pride is all about coming out and being proud.and i am but i also have to be causious.so if you would just concider maybe cropping the photo so that i am not in it that would make me so happy.but i know that it is freedom of the press and it is your photo.so if you decide not to i will understand.please take it in to consideration.please contact me at fudgy_lil_tiger@hotmail.com
