furrbear | Obligatory "Pride" Post

Twenty-four years ago, I co-chaired the Pride activities in the city where I grew up, Fort Worth, Texas.

Five years ago last Thursday (June 26th), the US Supreme Court ruled it's not a crime for my partner and I to make love.

May 16th of this year, the Supreme Court of the state of my birth made me even prouder to call myself a native ~~Californian~~ San Franciscan.

Progress is like that; as much as we feel it should happen at a more rapid pace. We can only pray it doesn't continue at a glacial pace. Being out helps. Being OUT THERE, I dunno.

I've learned that in the last twenty-four years.

May peace and happiness bless all y'all.

Nella fantasia io vedo un mondo giusto,
Li tutti vivono in pace e in onestà.
Io sogno d'anime che sono sempre libere,
Come le nuvole che volano,
Pien' d'umanità in fondo all'anima.

Nella fantasia io vedo un mondo chiaro,
Li anche la notte è meno oscura.
Io sogno d'anime che sono sempre libere,
Come le nuvole che volano.

Nella fantasia esiste un vento caldo,
Che soffia sulle città, come amico.
Io sogno d'anime che sono sempre libere,
Come le nuvole che volano,
Pien' d'umanità in fondo all'anima.

In my fantasy I see a just world
Where everyone lives in peace and honesty
I dream of a place to live that is always free
Like a cloud that floats
Full of humanity in the depths of the soul

In my fantasy I see a bright world
Where each night there is less darkness
I dream of souls that are always free
Like the cloud that floats

In my fantasy exists a warm wind
That breathes into the city, like a friend
I dream of souls that are always free
Like the cloud that floats
