Adam and I have never been around Malate on foot before. We thought what better way to soak up the scene than to join a Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride March that was going around the area? The good people at Lesbian Advocates Philippines were nice enough to let us help them carry their banner and let us in on some parade action.
And really, there’s no better way to get around an area; we passed by the church my parents got married in, saw a lot of quaint restaurants and antique shops, met some really interesting people, got cheered on by pedestrians and campaigned for gay rights all in one afternoon!
So anyways, here are some pictures taken with my camera yesterday…

These are the members of the Golden Gays, its an organization that takes care of the gay elderly. The rightmost guy at the top row walked the whole parade in three inch heels.
Adam and the pastel priest. You gotta give the guy some credit for being so patient with us photo whores.
Aww, its a bashful twink in pink.. Reminds Adam of himself a few years back.

The fabulous gyrating ati-atihan dancers... although they're just standing around in this picture.
The tireless Amnesty International Pilipinas beauty queens. They hooked me up (and almost every pedestrian we passed) with a really nifty Gay Rights temporary tattoos.
The women of LeAP. Nice asses ladies!
And of course me, adam helping the LeAP girls carry their wonderfully ornate (its got sequins and dyed pink rock salt stuck to it!) banner. Fun, fun, fun for all!!
