My experience with pride is not that expansive. I've actually only been to one gay pride event. I grew up in a small town in Southern California and there was no real LGBT acceptance there. It wasn't antagonistic but it wasn't the most accepting place and I really felt alienated. When I was a kid, I really wanted to go to LA to go to pride because I thought I would go there and connect with people and meet people like me, but I was never able to that as a kid.

Then transition happened. When I transitioned, I became content with being "stealth." If you guys don't know what "stealth" means, it means you don't discuss being trans and no one around you really knows. I thought that by going to a gay pride event was, as we call it, "clocking," so I avoided going to pride.
