That reminds me
I think I remember a South Dakota LGBTQIA marching band in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade in 2022.
:icon_wave:
1999 we met and married :icon_archery:
Fall 2018 The woman hiding behind my husband's facade is coming out full time! :icon_female:
She began MTF HRT but had adverse reactions, so gave up on transitioning medically.
Summer 2022 I went through gender confirmation surgery as a result of cancer.
2024 my wife submitted letters approving of medically transitioning, she's legally changing her name and gender on all of her and our documents and accounts.
January 2025!  SURGERY!

Welcome, to Significant Others

Hi, gennee.

I have no idea! They announced it in the news a couple of days ahead of time. But now, nothing. No news or photos. I wasn't able to attend, so now I am searching to find out what happened.

Ok, so I found some pics on Facebook. The parade was a huge success. Only one heckler with a bullhorn. He was appropriately dealt with by security and our wonderful Rapid City Police!

Did the parade organizers already decide to make this an annual event?
Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

Yes! They worked really hard to get everything planned (permits, news releases, advertising flyers). Toni is one of the organizers at the Center for Equality. She came to one of our Trans Veteran Support Group meetings. That's how I learned of it and got the flyer to post.
