Pride 2007
My whole family took part in the 2007 San Francisco Pride Parade last Sunday! My brother and his husband were Grand Marshals! Everyone in both of their immediate families was there in spirit to support them. Most everyone was there physically, also. Lots of cousins, too!
Here I am with my Mom, ready to take part in the Parade! My cousin Wes is here, too.
Here's DD with her younger cousin, sitting in as grand marshals while everything gets set up:
And here are the Grand Marshals themselves! That's my brother Stuart on the right, his husband John on the left:
Subtle outfits, huh??
They are two of many grand marshals, actually, but they are the ones who were elected by the community:
Here are two other grand marshals:
Lots of others were getting ready:
Nice knitted scarf, dude!
Last minute adjustments to the Marriage Equality float:
And we're off!
Here's the grand marshals, with another of my brothers and DD walking alongside:
Our sign -- there were indeed 4 generations of my family there (but my camera ate my pix of the very youngest generation):
This was my view for a lot of the parade:
See the giant pink triangle on Twin Peaks, way in the background? They put that up every year for Pride weekend.
The crowds were enormous!
More interesting costumes:

And it's all over:

How wonderful!
Ya'll are so cute! I think it's fabulous that you are all so supportive of your brother and his husband. Not all families are. ♥

Awesome! And I think it's really significant that the community elected grand marshals who are so devoted to marriage for all and family :-D

Great photos! They are a handsome couple. How wonderful to have the love and support of one's community and one's family.

How cool is that?!?! :D
I used to go every year when I lived in SF. In fact, I used to live on Castro at 18th back when that was the staging area. Fun!

Aw--congrats to your brother, and you all looked great out there! (I love that your Mom marched too...)
Your DD is just beautiful, by the way...
