I have to admit- I loathe politicians and the tricks they play, especially for the shenanigans they are currently pulling with regards to what I can or can't do with my uterus and it's adjoining organs & contents, but this time they got something right.
It's not a secret that Jaded don't do parades; crowds freak me out and I get real nervous if my exit strategy is blocked by mobs of people, but after checking out the afternoon screening of "Super 8" at Union Square, I found myself right smack in the middle of the festivities.
Never in a million years did I imagine I'd get swept up in the emotion of the day. It was all so beautiful- the cheering, the smiles, the music, the costumes. There was so much happiness and relief and love in the air...I may or may not have allegedly gotten a little teary during the procession. SHUT UP.
Today, more than I ever, I was an extremely PROUD NYer. I can't believe I was alive to witness this!
*smooches...for all of the same-sex couples lining up on Monday for marriage licenses*

I kinda wish I can take off work and cheer them on at City Hall!
