Ashley Rukes Pride Parade 2007

This one's a couple of weeks late, but I just finished posting the entire set of images from this year's Ashley Rukes Gay Pride Parade in downtown Minneapolis. It was another great one, with a much larger contingent of politicians and churches this year which is pretty heartening. Al Franken was a huge hit, spurring a spontaneous standing ovation just running by. As always PFLAG stole the show, getting more audience response than anyone else. It's amazing how effective a sign with a simple message of love can be.
