I’ve never worn this hat.
This was a giveaway from the BVG – Berlin’s public transit agency – during Berlin’s Christopher Street Day (Berlin Pride) several years ago. Which year, I cannot recall.
The hat folds up tightly and neatly into the yellow bag on the left, along side the whistle in front.

I picked up this hat last August while visiting Boston – and going to two Red Sox games. I actually bought this the second night – and the decision to buy it was the Pride coloring.
Baseball is truly the sole sport that I enjoy watching – it’s relaxing and laid back – slow […]
Gosh, it was four years ago today that I met friends at Brandenburg Tor to remember the victims of the Orlando Pulse Nightclub shooting.
The above heart was given to me by somebody in the crowd during the gathering to wear – I’ve kept it ever since.
I don’t know why.
Maybe I do: […]
The above image was a present from dear friends who found it for sale at the Lesbian and Gay Street Festival in Berlin during the summer of 2018.

A few years ago, I was in Canada in the run-up to Pride, which is when I bought this bracelet.

This past weekend was CSD Berlin – and I went to the parade, lasting for about 2.5 hours of it – some 40 floats out of the 70+ in the parade. To say it was slow might be insulting to molasses.
Regardless, it was fun and, despite my general introversion and need for […]

The start of the CSD Parade feautred flags from around the world, with rainbow flags added.

Yesterday evening, while I was busy working on a project, two friends let me know that an NBA player had come out as gay.
Jason Collins, a 34-year-old, free agent, basketball player took the leap out of the closet in the pages of Sports Illustrated.
It’s cool and I would have let it float past […]
Plug Yourself In.
Saturday I headed out to watch the two Christopher Street Day parades that happen in Berlin every year – the “normal” one and the “alternative” one.
Wanting to hit up both parades meant that I had to choose strategically and that I never made it to the end party for the […]
