Yesterday, I attended Chicago’s Pride Parade with a friend. He invited me to attend because Lisa Madigan had invited people to walk in the parade on her Fcebook fanpage. The invite said bring a friend. Lisa Madigan is one of my favorite politicians so it seemed like a really cool opportunity to meet her. I’d also never been to an event like Pride and it felt about time in terms of my own coming out experience.
Lisa Madigan’s float was number 81. The parade officially kicked off at noon. We didn’t leave the holding pen until around 12:45. We didn’t reach the end of the route until about 2:35 pm. It was wild. The whole thing was beyond cool. I probably took 250 pictures. The following are about 100 from that selection.
