Last Saturday, all across San Diego, was the San Diego Pride Torch Relay for Equality. Two thousand participants helped commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots. As an ally for the LGBT community, I was honored that Borias and I got to be one of those participants, and carried the torch through part of our community!
We went by the Mayor's home in Kensington, and even cooler, at the end Borias and I strutted right past the restaurant where we were discriminated against recently. That felt good.
The torch was pretty heavy, and I used a bungee to strap it to me, using my camera bag to prop it up in my lap. It was still fairly hard to wheel at times, especially going up inclines, where I had to prop the torch against my shoulder. Other times we hit a groove, and Borias pulled me along at a brisk pace, while I held the torch up high.
Sweet.
It was another memorable experience, that I'm proud to have shared with my dog. Whom I love so very much!
