Gay Pride Parade Amsterdam 2011

This past weekend, I had the chance to experience Amsterdam for one thing its known for. Gay Pride. I met up with Lindsey and we went to the canal, Prisengracht where her friend Jelle owns a boat to watch the parade. Lucky for us, we had front row seats to THE gay event of the year. And it was FABULOUS.

It is estimated that one million Dutch people are gay. Luckily, I have had the privilege to know many gay people from all over the world, and am so thankful for the rights that are becoming bestowed upon them such as legalized marriages. Life is too short to do anything other than exactly what you want to do. Love one another, and accept each other for exactly who you are. In the end, does anything matter other than love?

Saturday at the parade in Amsterdam, all I saw was love, laughter and fun. Here's the thing.. no one knows the recipe for a happy marriage or union, whether it be one man, and one woman or two men and two women. No matter the orientation- I hope there is an abundance of happiness and love. Party on Gay folk, continue to stand up for your rights.. Be happy. Love and be loved. I applaud you.
