This has gone viral, for good reason: after so much controversy, here’s a wonderful cop dancing with a marcher at the Gay Pride parade. The parade ends right near my apartment, so my block was partially barricaded, but the police couldn’t have been more helpful. For some reason, my block always attracts plenty of lesbian drama. This year I saw one woman sitting on the curb, while another woman begged her, “Olive, at least stand up! At least walk to the corner, so I can use my phone!” I have no idea if Olive was impaired in some way, or just exhausted. Another extremely tall, sturdy lesbian was haranguing a tiny, young lesbian, by shouting at her, “You bitch! You wanted to stab me IN MY FACE! IN MY FACE!” I have no idea if the taller lesbian was speaking literally, but the younger lesbian was unperturbed, and their friends were enjoying the exchange.
The Pride parade is always remarkably well behaved, and the police seem to have a great time.
