I think Pride is such a great event. And the fact that it keeps getting bigger is such a testament to how far Utah has come (and will continue to go). Two years ago, I was completely unaware that Utah even had a Pride festival. I was sure that kind of lewd behavior and debauchery was reserved for the "evil" cities, like San Francisco, Seattle and New York. Fast forward two short years, and here I am, letting my gay flag fly proudly through the streets of downtown Salt Lake City! My, how two years can completely change a person.
Of course I took tons of pictures. Here are a few. As many of my friends are still students at that Socialist Work Camp known as BYU, I am not posting any personal pictures.

What Pride Parade is complete without a few rainbow flags...
...and Drag Queens!
