-
- Wish I could have seen what “are sacred”, but they never turned around the sign.
-
- …is that a bed sheet on their sign?
-
- Tried to get a picture with the flag unfurled where it showed the chief’s face, too, but the lady kept swishing it around.
-
- Someone get this lady some sunglasses!
-
- Branches… um. Well… we *did* have all that damage from flooding recently, guess making a float out of it makes about as much sense as anything, right?
-
- This dog. That tie. LOLz
-
- we’re walking… we’re walking…
-
- Not sure who the person with the tiara is in the back.
-
- Nice pose!
-
- They are not balancing their flags on their chins, I just had lousy timing for their toss.
-
- Fancy!
-
- No idea who this person is or why they were in the parade.
-
- I got a cool t-shirt from them! Thanks, guys!
-
- No idea who this chick is, but that tiara is marvelous!
-
- End youth homelessness. Nuff said.
-
- There are usually a lot of Tornado Alley Roller Derby girls out, but this was the only one I saw.
-
- AHEM!! Put down your phones so I can get a picture!
-
- Lovely smiles, kthanxbai
-
- Everyone in crowns is waving; the other two guys are looking at them like they’re nuts.
-
- It’d be nice if there was some more information about this float.
-
- The guy on the left – they’re telling him, no tiara, no ride, buddy. Nice smile from Pink Dress Lady. And then there’s that guy in the plaid shirt… lurking… wtf with that expression
-
- I hypothesize that these guys just work in the office and wanted to dress up for Pride. But I could be wrong.
-
- This car may or may not be part of the AIDS Walk OKC entry.
-
- Nice guy handing out bracelets and candy
-
- I don’t know who he is or what he earned a sash for.
-
- AIDS Walk OKC
-
- Mr Pride… and a bear riding a unicycle. What weirdo thought a bear outfit in 90 degree heat was a good idea?
-
- Mr Pride?
-
- I took this because of that origami crane bird logo thing, not because the guy has a fine ass.
-
- I hope she has lots of sunscreen on so that her tattoos don’t fade.
-
- Dat hat
-
- A local artist named Boom who does some very good work!
-
- One of the radio stations that plays music in and around OKC
-
- Bubbaque trucks are not floats
-
- PFLAG OKC
-
- I can’t help but think of the movie “Heathers” when I see that sign. ESKIMO
-
- PFLAG Norman, yay
-
- Go to class during the week and walk mostly naked down city streets every now and then, that’s what being in college is all about, right?
-
- Flamboyant, tattooed, and tanning-not-burning: that’s what Pride is about!
-
- The other side of the sign says “have sex”. …Is this Wayne Coyne? Hard to see his face.
-
- Beer trucks and beer golf carts are NOT parade floats!
-
- This guy kept trying to get the beer trucks to give him a free brew. One driver offered him water. Actual water, not just domestic crap beer.
-
- These chicks know how to work it
-
- Patricia’s Toy Shop. Sadly, they did not throw any toys.
-
- You can see FSM coming from way down the street.
-
- Flying Spaghetti Monster
-
- Driving the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Why is that guy wearing a coat in 90 degree weather?
-
- Not sure that those boots go with the tutu.
-
- Fantastic mustache
-
- Oklahoma Athiests
-
- Oklahoma Athiests
-
- Dancey, dancey
-
- Silly girls
-
- Young ladies of Calvert’s
-
- Leathery biker pride
-
- The Bear Pride flag is clearly visible in the background.
-
- Leather Pride – I was trying to find out what the pink and black flag was for, and wound up going down a crazy rabbit hole of Kink on Wikipedia.
-
- Where do you even get a loincloth in this day and age?
-
- I can’t help but notice the progressions here. Clothes to nearly naked, tans, body fat, and engagement with the water guns. That poor guy in the blue shorts doesn’t even have one, I don’t think.
-
- Now this little guy has a green, black, and white leather pride flag. Maybe he’s a vegan? Or prefers leprechaun spankings? I dunno. Never saw that one before.
-
- OkcEstateSales.com – not the most extravagant parade entry, but then… do you really want that from your estate appraiser?
-
- Whoo! Congrats, guys.
-
- Bruce and Keith – finally married, after 23 years!
-
- Strip Clubs (no, not like that), plus Morgaine Nichole. Morgaine, I just keep thinking of the Popemobile when I see that dress.
-
- The Habana Inn has really good clubs: The Copa (where it’s not too loud!), Gushers Restaurant, and The FinishLine (country style). Their gift shop Jungle Red’s also has a really unique selection of stuff, from sex toys, candles, incense, jewelry, all the way to tiki torches and even statues of the Virgin Mary that are seriously nice enough to give to your grandmother.
-
- I know this person, and I happen to know that he sewed that dress all by himself. Morgaine Nichole, YOU ROCK!!
-
- This has to be one of the funniest costumes I’ve ever seen!
-
- What is the black case the lady’s holding? Oh. I know. It’s a McGUFFIN
-
- Tutu girl should share her head thing with that guy, who is clearly under dressed for the occasion
-
- Ohai I know this guy! It’s uhhhhhh oh crap I forgot
-
- Ack god why can’t I remember this dude’s name
-
- YWCA. The Y*M*CA did not have a float. However, the Village People played a couple nights ago at the Pride Fest, does that count?
-
- Where is that lady’s legs
-
- Not exactly a parade float, either.
-
- Cricket guys in green. Maybe they should change their name to Grasshopper

- Dear Pizano lady, where did you get that black flag? I *need* that. Nice hat LOL
-
- I thought it was kind of clever to use blow up props from Party Galaxy as a float decoaration.
-
- These guys were driving around erratically. I think they thought they were just having fun, but it looked like maybe they’d been sampling their product.
-
- Beer trucks are NOT floats, yo.
-
- I can’t remember this guy’s name, but dude. A ginger in a utilikilt. RAWR

-
- There could be worse things in this world than to drive around as a biker babe.

-
- Woo!
-
- I might just need one of these. Looks fun. “I’m Batman”
-
- Motorcycle chicks with some pretty cool bikes
-
- Sadly they were not handing out free internet tokens
-
- I could make some rude jokes about their name but I’m sure they’ve already heard them all. Glad to see them out at the parade!
-
- Team Cox – showing up, like they do, ya know
-
- This guy reminds me of someone I used to know, so I took his picture LOL
-
- These guys are very friendly and nice.

-
- If I went to church, I might consider going someplace where the grownups get to wear black tutus.

-
- Freedom Family Church, all smiles and waves.
-
- I think they were going over to give out some candy, but it looks like something awfully interesting is happening off-screen. There wasn’t, they just were all looking in the same direction LOL
-
- This guy looks like he’s having a great time. Wonder if that’s water in the bottle, or maybe something else?
-
- Modestly decorated pickup by Herland.
-
- I kept trying to get a picture of the flag streaming out behind her, but she kept turning away from the camera. ah well

- This one has a nice smile from the lady in front, while the driver is blocking her own face.
-
- I included this picture becsause you can see more of the driver’s face.
-
- Yo!
