It happened the 30th of June.  The FOURTH annual gay Pride/Diversity Parade and Festival in San Jose.  The Main street downtown was closed for the 6 kilometer parade that ended in the park for a party.    Thousands lined the street and the parade was chock full if the diversity and courage that these events are known for.  This year, there were more floats and they were more elaborate.

The village people even showed up at Pride this year.  Those guys are IMMORTAL.

What would Pride parades be without lots of drag queens on a float?

She wins my vote for the best costume with a statement.  "Here I am."

The bars and clubs were well represented too.

This year there was a real focus on Marriage Equality.  More on that later.

Our local Manuel Antonio float was there and we passed out goodie bags full of coupons from local vendors that support us.  Thanks Everyone!

Oh, and need I mention that there was quite of representation of hot guys at the event?

Yes, it's true.  I cannot pass up an opportunity to have a picture with some locals.  We had a great time. Hope you can join us next year.
