I.D.A.H.O

"Embrace"
A typical moment captured at RI Pride Fest 2007.
I can't imagine what it would be like to be gay in parts of the world where it is stongly discriminated against. I have the fortunate luck to hangout in the largest U.S. city with an openly gay mayor. I am very proud of the fact that Providence is extremely gay friendly. The RI Pride events are very fun to attend and I meet THE nicest people. Someday the world will come around and understand that people should not be judged by who they love, but how strongly they love.
Please check out the JPG story Project I.D.A.H.O, the International Day Against HOmophopia. Thank you!
