Goodbye to Horrendous 2025, Welcome 2026 and I Celebrate with My First Pride/ Background

If we had a a picture of the back of the march I will be there following the music truck in blue jeans and no shirt. The longest I ever had my hair, I think. This year I marched alone because it was my first. Did not go to march but to see it and I just started dancing to the music and everyone else as we marched up 5th Ave.
When we passed 34 Street I look and saw where I worked and I felt self conscious. I was coming out slowly. This march which I did not anticipate did not know how long it was and I did not anticipate doing anything but watching from 7th ave south in the west village. This pride walk gave me a new feeling of identity or rather it confirmed my identity. I never seen so many gay guys and girls being out in the open. Being proud! Smile and determination in their faces. I believe this was only the second pride and I watch on the TV news the first one and it made me curious and I wanted to be there. Usually I stayed away from anything gay but something inside me was coming out. No it was not a comfortable feeling but something I needed be part of because I was part of it.
Im making this posting about Pride and my first Pride because is only hours until we say good bye to 2025. In my opinion an awful years.Im retired now but still work donating my time in writing trying to keep some people informed, but well informed. What ever I write is back up usually by a newspaper article to back it up. If I post an article and don't make a comment or introduction is because none is needed, I know where it comes from at that time.
Im getting old, don't know how long I will be doing this. I stopped temporarily until I saw the man I deemed the worse to hold any job in this country became the president of this nation. My first feeling was shame which still with me. Hopping we can at least try to fix the mistakes but the world, our friends will never forgive us because they have lost their confidence and faith on us.I hope this year of 2026 is the year of starting to clean up and fixing things. I don't know if with or trust will ever come back.

The Picture below is 1972, was looking for a picture from 1975 and I have it but lately Google and Apple are making things difficult for me. So I cant show now 1975 and wearing long hair blue jeans and no shirt. Instead My graduation was for 3 years Divinity and two years higher Ed to be a teacher which I was named by the Director but never got to fulfilled. I wasn't not sure I was gay I was hoping not.I thought about all the people that will say I was a hypocrite hiding all those years. I understood even then if I was I was born like that and for sure I was not choosing it or becoming one.I understood I needed to know and try to accept but did not see how I could accept so I just hoped I wasn't. Being a seminary kid gave me the excuse of not having g sex without marriage.The first girl that proposed to me scared the hell out me and she cried and would not see me again. So I'll leave it here. At least you have an idea of who is writing for you 7 days a week. Im sure I'll post  tomorrow. Seee you.....Adam
