Humboldt Pride 2009

Seeds of unity-“Although the world is full of discord, there are also seeds of peace that scatter and take root in unexpected places. They even grow in bomb sites. They grow where the heart is pure. Those who see them know that the word is a garden, not a wilderness.” ~1,001 Meditations, Mike George

Last year I attended my first Humboldt Pride parade in Arcata, CA. Although it seemed like a relativily small turnout spread across the plaza, the energy and support was abundantly clear. This year, Pride was held in Eureka (well actually Cutten) at the Eureka Zoo. At first this seemed like an odd place to hold the event but after attending, I feel as though the support and energy was even greater than last year....and several of HUS social worker's showed up to volunteer and/or show their support.
