geminigirlSo I didn't write anything about Pride cause there wasn't much to tell. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
aquariumgirl and I staffed the table for work for a couple of hours, ran into some people she knew, although surprisingly enough not really any of my friends. (Where were you clockwatcher?) Then we wandered the festival for a while. I realized I know the people who do gay for a living, which sort of makes me wonder if I'm doing this too long...
And I got the coolest t-shirt in the world (cause I have the greatest girlfriend in the world!)
One of the local synagogues had a booth at the Festival. I've felt, and I've talked about this sometimes before, very disconnected from Jewish community lately...for a couple of years in fact. Since I left GW, I haven't found a Jewish home. And that's okay I suppose...I go when I feel the need to, I have family for the important holidays, but it's still strange to be so disconnected from something that is important-although the precise measure of its importance varies from time to tome. I need a place that welcomes me as a whole person, which means also as a queer person. But I'm not a lesbian, it's not my label. Which means that as a bisexual I also don't always feel comfortable in some gay/lesbian spaces. It's why I don't attend the local gay synagogue...even though they call themselves egalitarian, I don't feel like it's a family friendly place, and I don't feel all that welcome. It's almost like I'd call it "too gay" for me. But anyway, Temple Micah had a booth at the Festival. I've been to Temple Micah before-eight or so years ago, in college. I liked them...I liked the atmosphere, the environment. It's a place I'll probably check out some more. (demonfafa wanna go with me some time? I'll even drive so you won't have to take your car into the city.) The guy at the table was very nice. And I feel like it's not a "gay synagogue" so it's more like the kind of place I want to be...where the diversity is a little more diverse. And they were selling t-shirts. They have the Temple Micah logo, and in pretty rainbow embroidery they say "Pride 5763" which is the year according to the Hebrew calendar. (Okay, maybe it's not the coolest t-shirt if you don't get the whole 5763 thing, but it was the coolest t-shirt to me!)
Whoda thunk that I'd go to Pride and find a possible Jewish home? Not me...
