With the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy now officially over, Boston lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender residents are continuing to assert themselves to keep striving for equal rights. A group called GetEQUAL plans a protest at the State House today so transgender Americans can also serve in the military. The rally will also call for general equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender from all levels of government. Now that the DADT policy is finished, Harvard is officially welcoming ROTC programs back to campus.

We couldn't stop snapping pictures at this year's Boston Pride Parade. Here's another installment. Look for gay pagans, Unitarians of all orientations, inflatable livestock, and our beloved mayor on a totemic headdress.
The clouds parted and the sun rejoined New England for one afternoon, at least. It was breezy and pleasant downtown today for the 2009 Boston Pride Parade, which celebrated all things gay, from Batman and Robin to dogs, Deval Patrick to lifeguarding. Bostonist installed ourselves on Tremont Street, in a relatively unpopulated stretch of the parade route, across the street from King's Chapel, which allowed us to watch streams of tourists pass and be bewildered. "Isn't bewildering tourists what any good gay pride parade should be about?" asked a bystander. Indeed. Welcome to Massachusetts; being gay is legal here.
