Once again Unitarians from the Westwood Unitarian Congregation and the Unitarian Church of Edmonton will be unfurling our banners and parading down Jasper Avenue in support of Gay, Lesbian, Bi-Sexual and Trans Gender rights. This is the 30th year of the Pride Parade. The theme is "2010- A Queer Odyssey".
If you have never attended, you don't know what you are missing. The parade is joyous and entertaining, truly a celebration of human worth and dignity, with a little delightful sauciness thrown in for fun. I have been parading for years along with my daughters since they were babies. Now 6 and 5, they love the rainbows!
And frankly it's hard to decide where to be. The parade is fun to watch, but it's just as much fun to walk in the event and watch the crowds. They are warm and appreciative of church participation.
So, the parade starts 'promptly (yeah right)at 1 p.m. and runs from Jasper and 108 Street east on Jasper and then up to Churchill Square.
If you want to join in, look for the Unitarian banners south of Jasper on 108 before the parade starts.
See you there!
Brian
