My favorite photo from the whole day yesterday. Is that Seattle’s mayor KISSING HIS HUSBAND RIGHT ON THE LIPS—RIGHT IN FRONT OF EVERYONE?!? Why, yes, yes it is! Kelly O
Singing “We Are the Champions” by Queen works at almost every sporting event. It was so much sweeter here. People cried. I wish Freddie Mercury had lived to see this day. Kelly O
Ooh, Harvey Milk woulda loved to see this victory, too. Kelly O
Love wins. This time. Kelly O
It’s still so important to vote. There’s still so much to do. Kelly O
This fella was handing out popcorn and saying “Taste the Rainbow.” Kelly O
THIS fella was handing out buttons for Seattle Police Department’s “Safe Place” program. Kelly O
This fella wasn’t handing out anything, but doesn’t he have great hair? Kelly O
This fella was waving a rainbow American flag. But his choice of baseball hat was interesting… Kelly O
See? Maybe he was being ironic… Kelly O
Someone yelled “I love you!” at Mayor Murray, and he said “I love YOU!” back. Then he said he “loved America.” Kelly O
Murray also read quotes by Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy. He also smiled more than I’ve ever personally seen him smile. Kelly O
King County Executive Dow Constantine reminded the crowd that they were standing in “Martin Luther King County.” Kelly O
Council Member Kshama Sawant pulled a Kshama Sawant and spoke of revolution, Stonewall riots, Prop 8, transgender issues, and the power of activism. Her speech got the loudest cheers. Kelly O
Council Member Sally Bagshaw told a personal story that seemed to make her teary-eyed for a second. Kelly O
Council Member Jean Godden gave the shortest speech, and talked of making national headlines. Kelly O
The Seattle Men’s Chorus and Seattle Women’s Chorus also sang “Another One Bites the Dust.” Kelly O
This chorus member’s bow tie is so cool it needs its own bodyguard (right). Kelly O
Spirits soared high. Kelly O
First comes love, then comes marriage, then, sometimes, here comes a baby carriage! Kelly O
