The cat sits there so proudly. He knew that I am a little bit allergic to him. He knew that I prefer the company of dogs. Yet he jumps on my lap, of all the laps at the party and just sat there. He is proud of his accomplishment.
Today is pride day. And as I refect, the pride celebrations have evolved over the years. At first it was a small group of protestors, demanding their rights. Then it became a celebration for gays and lesbians. Now it is a celebration for a diverse city- where gay, straight, the curious might join in. Is it a bad thing- no. It is a testimony to those first protestors of how far we have come. We still have far to go, but may we all sit like this proud cat and smile.
