Stevie Wonder - "Don't You Worry 'bout A Thing"



P.S. Sooo sorry about the delayed picspams; it's just been an issue of getting permission clearances from Flickr photographers, which is increasingly the only source for several North American cities this year, for some reason.

But! Tentative cities: Queens | D.C. | Chicago | a few Californian cities (I think)!

I'm still going through the ones I took at the Toronto parade last weekend, but when I'm done, I'll send you the link and by all means, post whichever ones are worth sharing :)

Thank you! <333333

I also have some pics from the Toronto parade; can send them to you if you want to include them in the picspam for TO? :)
iolarah 12th-Jul-2011 11:12 am (UTC)
Ok! Took me long enough, but here they are! They're not as good as some I've seen, but I'm pleased with what I got, considering I didn't have a great spot and I should have brought a different lens and a lens hood. Feel free to pick through and post whichever ones you like best :)

Idk, the word vulva makes me think of either Volvo, or worse, volvox.
ladypolitik 8th-Jul-2011 04:53 pm (UTC)
Oh, right, right -- see, I was thinking of "vagina", which has always sounded like hearty pasta to me.
redstar826 8th-Jul-2011 04:55 pm (UTC)
huh, well now I'm both hungry and turned on. damn you!

LOL. NEEDED TO HAPPEN. There were so many inappropriate puns to choose from tbh:

- "The Stomach: ....Nnnno, not *quite* the way to a woman's heart....."
- "I BAKED YOU A VULVA CAKE, BUT I EA--" (...well. You get it.)

silmaril Translations for the signs in the Turkish Pride marches — 8th-Jul-2011 05:45 pm (UTC)
From the Istiklal Avenue pictures: The rectangular signs in the first picture are variations on the theme of "I'm your mother, I'm with you" "I'm your sibling, I'm with you" "My child is homosexual" "Leave my child's future alone." The round colorful signs in the later picture have slogans like "We're here, get used to it," "So what if we're queer," "Love is getting organized," "We're gays, we're lesbians." Some signs are in Kurdish, which I don't speak, but I assume they say similar things.

(And one of them makes me very happy: The one that says "Velev ki ibneyiz", that I translated as "So what if we're queer." The word "ibne" is what the word "queer" has been in English for decades: it has been an insult, a very heavy one. Let's just say I would never have voluntarily typed it in my life if I had not seen it on that sign. That sign says "Reclamation ahoy!" to me, which makes me happy, because AFAIK the LGBT movement in North America has been rather successful in reclaiming "gay" and "queer".)

;_; Thank you for the translation, those pictures just not EVEN MORE GORGEOUS. Guh.
sesmo Re: Translations for the signs in the Turkish Pride marches — 8th-Jul-2011 09:26 pm (UTC)
Awesome. The fact that they had such a parade in Turkey, AND mixed Kurdish & Turkish, is very heartening. Also, gorgeous.
romp Re: Translations for the signs in the Turkish Pride marches — 9th-Jul-2011 06:24 am (UTC)
Thank you. Makes them all the more lovely.

These pictures make me so happy. ♥

Also, I really want that last girl's necklace.
sephystabbity 8th-Jul-2011 06:37 pm (UTC)
The one with the two girls embracing looks so amazing. And that necklace...gorgeous...me want one now.

Me and my friend got some Toronto Pride pics. Is it too late to send them to you? :)
ladypolitik 8th-Jul-2011 09:59 pm (UTC)
Not at all! I have a little stockpile of various online Toronto pics I'm sorting through, but if you've got a link, post it for me!
ladypolitik 9th-Jul-2011 12:15 am (UTC)
Soooo wonderful. <3 Thank you!

Holy shit, if I tried that I would pull way too many muscles.
