Yesterday was Calgary's annual pride celebration. It was the first time in history that the mayor of our city has been involved (wearing a rainbow cowboy hat at that!) and this years festivities were bigger and better than ever before! i don't remember when or how i started feeling passionate about supporting issues for LGBT, but for me its always been a no-brainer. a matter of equality, basic human rights, and something i very much want Finn to grow up knowing is part of everyday life, completely normal and something he too can support wholeheartedly. We had a quick visit down to the park celebration to hear the mayor speak, see some beautiful drag queens and watch Finn dance up a storm to Katy Perry, but Finn was extra sleepy yesterday resulting in a much needed afternoon nap, so we headed home shortly after we arrived. It was a beautiful day though, and I'm so happy Finn was able to celebrate his first pride! We are all looking forward to many many more of these summer celebrations to come!
