if you know me well, you'll know that I am passionate about supporting and defending rights: human rights, womens' rights, refugee and asylum seeker rights, and animal rights. This last weekend was the first time I've ever been to a gay pride parade, and I felt very honoured to be part of a celebration of a group of people whose rights are often not upheld.
The parade was held in downtown Seoul last Saturday afternoon. I went with friends from Amnesty International. Michael from AI wrote

Hey - didn't we join the gay pride parade here in Dunners? Or was that just Nic & laura and I when we played for the purple passions soccer team?
The rainbows are so pretty - they'd probably win an award for the prettiest pa-rade :o) (to quote Nic)

i don't think I did.. maybe it was just you, Nic and Laura.
yay, I love it when people comment on my blog, it makes me feel loved. You get 5 stars for all your commenting. My mom said she'd comment using a different name, so that it would seem like I had many more readers, but she hasn't delivered on that promise yet.
pa-rade, pa-rade! i'm pretty sure I pronounced it like that all day. people must have thought i was strange.
