We arrived in Portland on Saturday June 17th, coinciding with the city’s 43rd annual Pride celebration. The city was decked out in rainbow flags. On Sunday we ambled to Waterfront Park, watching a portion of the Pride Parade winding its way through the city. The celebration included marching bands, corporate floats, and even rainbow clad scull crews, rowing on the nearby Willamette River. Young and old, gay and straight joined together in this family friendly celebration of LGBTQ progress.
