Saturday morning, we'll pile in the "big" car and head for Columbus, our state capital, to participate with others in the Gay Pride Parade. 
It will be partly a recognition of a partnership that has formed with our gay community there in support of the disability advocacy community. Too, though, it is a chance to stand with others who live lives that are "alternative." For us, it will be a "coming out" of sorts as we show more of who we are than is typical for our family.
I imagine we'll be all decked out in our
"straight but not narrow" pins, and some brand new t-shirts and Obama campaign buttons 
purchased for this particular occasion from Cafe Press.
I don't know if there'll be anything more overt than that, but it remains to be seen. Whatever happens, it feels good to be moving into the light of day in this venue.
