greenie_breizhYay Pride pictures!
We kept the same banners and colors as last year, because it was easier and cheaper for everybody. Which means that we got to blow white and red balloons, once more.
And just like last year, Over was the Master (Mistress?) of the Balloon Blowing. They actually showed her on national TV, oh yeah!
Over with her MAG tshirt.
Our two straight allies of the year!
My awesome girlfriend. *g*
The float, all balloony and decorated...
Already by midday the streets were getting crowded.
We were at the back of the parade this year (float #58 out of 80), so we had to wait a long time before we started moving (we started preparing the float at 10 am and we left around 3:45 pm). But at least we got to see lots of other floats drive by. A few examples :
Homobus, the gay organization of the Paris public transportation company :
APGL, the LGBT parents organization :
Contact, the organization for parents of LGBT people, always has the best signs. This one says, "My son is gay, so is my son-in-law."
This year was the first time the political parties participated in the march with floats, so here are the floats for the Green Party and the Socialist Party (the Communist Party and the UMP, our big right-wing party, were also present) :
People on our float, mostly Europeans, looking very calm actually... most of the time they were dancing like crazy!
People on the float again, this time with the cool flag of the Italian LGBT organization, Arcigay :
By the time we reached Bastille and everybody had to get off the float, we were exhausted by all the walking, dancing, bouncing in the heat. (Nicolas literally did not STOP dancing for 4 hours. I don't know how he didn't die. Possibly he's not human.)
Our float's all empty now!
And we always have fun with the balloons at the end when we get them off the float... this year they slaughtered them, actually. But before that, Pauline and Alex had time to be kids for a while.
