Woo hoo Gonorrhea!

Today was my first appearance in the Pride Parade, starring as Gonorrhea for the Planned Parenthood entry. We were a melody of STDs and a giant condom. The condom would go erect, then the diseases would try to attack and would be repelled back. I had the special place of being gonorrhea on roller skates to boot!

It was packed - hundreds? Thousands of people lined 4th Avenue in downtown Seattle. We threw bracelets to the crowds that read "Love Carefully", which followed our message of Safe Sex is Sexy printed on our bright pink shirts. I crashed into another gonorrhea at one point and about half way through we ran out of bracelets and condoms.

I ran into some of my roller derby pals at the Seattle Center where the Parade ended, ate a gyro, corn-on-the-cob and listed to club music before taking the bus back downtown to get my car. I love parades and I was quite proud to be in this one...
