It’s Pride in Houston! As every year, our parade is at night. And you may recall that each year, I try to get a photo of Tim standing in front of some sign.
Like “Fantasy” and “Lust”
And the year I couldn’t go, so Tom shot him for me.

Last year, Tim was out of town during Pride. But this year, I revived the tradition.
I’m so proud that this incredible man is my friend, writing partner, and artistic inspiration. He does amazing work helping rescue dogs in Houston, and his friends love him unconditionally. I hope the day comes when his country recognizes that he deserves the same rights and privileges that most of us take for granted. This year: Thank you, New York, for reinforcing that justice and equality are always in style!
While Saint Louis and many of the surrounding municipalities recognize civil unions for same sex couples; the state run by the Republiclowns and bible thumpers keeps reinforcing the man/woman concept of marriage and refuses to recognize gay couples legally married in states that do. So the mayor will officially proclaim PrideFest and ride in the Parade tomorrow as he has for the past 11-years — supporting our civil rights, but without much hope of changing the narrow minds in power. Happy Pride Week!
BTW, does Tim have a painting of himself hidden somewhere in the Compound that has been mysteriously aging?
Thank you–happy Pride to you! And maybe one day…
As for that hidden painting, I’m not at liberty to divulge. 😉
Now there’s a guy who’s always in style. Hurray for tradition!
Oh, and what Robert says is true; I do like our mayor. Everyone outstate? Well, we need to have words.
I like our mayor, too. =) AND her wife.
Do you guys continue to write together?
We’ll see!
