Participating in my first pride this summer, I found myself eager to
attend another parade and festival. I've known for a while now that my
hometown of Rochester, NY hosts a pride, but had never been interested
until Capital Pride 2008 sparked this sudden drive for diverse people
and colorful outfits and colorful decorations coming together in an
outspoken demand to be seen, heard, and accepted . Much to my dismay, when I looked up this year's events I found that the festivities would be taking place two weeks prior to my return home on August 2nd.
