Albuquerque PRIDE Parade 2025

Albuquerque PRIDE Parade 2025: A joyous and vibrant affirmation of life and solidarity…

… a celebration of diversity, equity, and inclusion… and a message to every lonely, misunderstood person who’s “different” not to lose heart–because the day is coming when you will not be merely tolerated, but fully embraced for who you are.

Special Note from Proud & Visible Ally Frank: Every one of us who comes out in visible support sets a powerful example and sends a healing message to the marginalized and demonized. For it tells other closeted allies that it’s ok to think and feel what they’re thinking and feeling… and might inspire them to come out in visible support as well. But most important, it tells everyone who’s “different” that there’s nothing wrong with them and that they are unconditionally loved and welcome.

  1. Great photos for a great cause! Thanks for sharing.
    People need to be more accepting and stop criticising others, especially without knowing their story.

    1. Your resonance and sentiment are well received.

      Nothing taught me more about life that walking in the shoes of another… or at least walking with them for awhile.

      Thanks and peace, wherever you are.

      1. Wise words. You’re right, until we walk in other’s shoes, we have no idea about their life and shouldn’t judge.
        I’m back in Australia 🙂

  2. Thank you for your beautiful words and for your very public support, Frank! You’ll never know how many hearts you have touched, or how many vulnerable people (those marginalized, and those wishing to meaningfully support the marginalized) will be inspired by (and feel “seen” as a result of) your kind words!

    1. Thank YOU for the most kind words of support and encouragement, Anita.

      I really like your choice of and sentiments behind the words a “vulnerable” and “seen”.

      All the best.

  3. Well shared Frank. I believe accepting people for their actions such as how they treat others.

    Be yourself- everyone else is taken.

  4. Thank you for growing the chorus of those on the side of all humanity, Frank. Thank you for promoting unconditional love for an especially demonized population.

    1. Your resonance means a lot, Tracy.

      A growing chorus indeed. You can feel a huge movement quietly but surely building everywhere. No King’s is gonna be huge and famous!

      And hank YOU for being here, not just on this blog, but on planet earth.
