A few more thoughts on Pride....

geminigirlI realized this morning that when I talked to my mom yesterday before the Pride Festival, that I'd simply told her I needed to staff a table at a street festival for work for a few hours. Now, considering it was in fact for work, and considering the field I work in, I wonder why I still felt compelled to avoid the gay issue...is it because I would have gotten some speech about hanging out with gay people/not meeting new men or something like that? Is it internalized homophobia?
I'm sure I would have heard something about Pride being not a good place to look for a boyfriend. Frankly, I think it's the perfect place to do that.
There was a serious lack of bisexual presence...I've envied Boston for their fantastically organized bi-community for years. Especially since I'm out of school and meeting fewer people. It does seem like things are happening here though.
To those of you who've noticed/commented about me just not being quite my usual self lately, you're right. And I'm sorry if I'm being a downer these days; I still feel self-indulgent when I get mopey. But you're right...I'm not quite the me I usually am. And I hope things change soon.
