In the photo above, Bill and Rob are shown (left to right) at work preparing
a car
and signs for use by the chapter in its participation in
the parade. Those signs
promoted the chapter on one side and on the
other side urged a "No" vote on
Proposition 8 that proposed to insert a ban on
gay marriage into the Constitution
of California. Our opposition to that
proposed ban got much approval from the
crowds lining the parade route.

In the photo above, Rob and Bill are shown again (left to right), next to the
chapter's
car after it had arrived at the parade route and had lined up with
other participating
vehicles, in the order they would step off for the start of
the parade.

With the Presidential election (with Proposition 8 also on the ballot) only two
days
away, there was no way that the election would not surface during the
festivities.
Above are supporters of Obama and opponents of the proposed
ban on gay marriage.

A gay parade without colored balloons? Surely you jest.
|
|
|
|
Dressing up (if "up" is the right word) of many kinds is also inevitable at gay
events;
and this one surely did not disappoint!
|
|
|
|
There were also classic cars, another form of dressing up for the event.
|
|
|
|
Some who dressed up might have also enjoyed having one of those classic cars
to help show off their form of dressing up.
