Take that San Fran!
The results are in and they are calling yesterday's gay parade in Sao Paulo (which I attended) a flaming success!CNN summed it up like this:
"Almost 2 million gay men, lesbians, transvestites and their supporters -- many in lavish Carnival costumes and waving rainbow-colored flags -- paraded in Brazil's biggest city on Sunday to celebrate gay pride and call for the legalization of civil unions between homosexuals.
More than 20 sound trucks blasting music and carrying go-go boys and drag queens, rolled down the skyscraper-lined Avenida Paulista for the Ninth Annual Sao Paulo Gay Parade -- a parade that organizers said was one of the world's largest gay pride events ever.
Police and organizers said almost 2 million people, including 700,000 tourists from other cities and countries, attended. Last year police said that about 1.5 million people participated. By comparison, San Francisco's gay pride parade typically attracts tens of thousands of people and last year's world gay pride day celebrations in Berlin attracted between 200,000 and 500,000."
And let me tell you...it was big and flamboyant! It was like carnival but all the sexy, topless women with the hourglass figures and the pigtails were men. Confusing to say the least.
But, despite the festive spirit, it left me with mixed feelings. Particularly in regards to one question (you might remember it from the Politicalcompass test). That is:Should a same-sex couple in a stable loving relationship, be allowed to adopt?
I go back and forth on this one, but today I hesitantly say...'yes'
