Yesterday while we visited the History Museum to see my sister-in-law's cooking demo, then on to the Fairgrounds for the Southern Home Show, approximately 4,000 people gathered in Durham to observe 112 organizations put on the 25th NC PrideParade. After reading the article in the News & Observer, then going on-line to view the PhotoGallery of the event, I went to the group's website where they proudly displayed the parade's sponsors:

• Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina
• Capital Chrysler Jeep Dodge (in Garner)
• WholeFoods Market
• The Duke Center for LGBT lifes
• Mitchell Gold+Bob Williams
• Legends Nightclub
• AARP
• Food Lion
• Chapel Hill Visitors Bureau
• The Capital Corral
• Raleigh Greater Visitors Bureau
• QNotes
• Weaver Street Market

After tonight's lesson where one of the many points discussed was not only God's love but also his holiness and anger, it was interesting in a sad way to see the number of churches involved as well as the misinformed Jesus impersonator in the parade who claimed Jesus was silent on the matter of GLBT.
