Long Beach Pride 2018 Photos
« on: May 20, 2018, 08:46:02 PM »
As mentioned to nkaujsee in her SoCal thread, my wife had an all expenses paid business trip to Long Beach for both of us. The catch is she just has to spend a couple of hours to do volunteer work for the Long Beach Pride event and participate in the parade..Great deal  O0!!!

Day one....


Leaving from Oakland Airport:



TSA Pre-Check is still well worth the money...I mean just look at the Pre-Check line compared to the general lines:





One carry on is more than sufficient for the 3 of us.. O0:



Bay Bride and Treasure Island:



Golden Gate Bride:



Arrived to Long Beach:





Long Beach has a small airport so jet bridge but still nice:



Outside waiting for Uber:

The baby qualified for the ferris wheel so we did that to get a better view of Long Beach from above... ;D:

I don't have anything against gays. But I am against how they glorified themselves. If you want to be gay, fine. Do it. I don't care. You are no better than me in anyway so why should you feel that you need special privileges :knuppel2:

i think it has less to do with "glorified privileges" and more so "glorified equality and equity"...

u kinda remind me of this old grumpy couple my kids, nephews, nieces, and i sat behind during my nephew's graduation... they both kept on turning around to tell my kids, nephews, and nieces to be quiet... mind you... this was in an event center where several hundreds of people were conversing... they eventually left after they couldn't get my kids to be quite... lol! serves them right...

Look like u had fun in my hometown. The shopping outlets area and downtown has change a lot. As middle and high school kids we would walk from 7-8 blocks to downtown to swim, shop, etc.
