      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border=&#34;3&#34; align=&#34;right&#34; style=&#34;padding-right:10px&#34; src=&#34;http://transadvocate.com/images/pride/Untitled-7.jpg&#34;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;My Friend &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lexy from Boston came into Indy on Friday night. I met her out at the airport, then took her back to the apartment. I had to work, so I showed her the apartment, then went to work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cafe&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;
In the morning we went to a nearby cafe called &amp;ldquo;The Yellow Canary.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img border=&#34;3&#34; align=&#34;left&#34; style=&#34;padding-right:10px&#34; src=&#34;http://transadvocate.com/images/pride/Img_0463.jpg&#34;&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then we proceeded to prance over to pride. We caught a bit of the parade&amp;hellip;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&#34;http://transadvocate.com/images/pride/Img_0472.jpg&#34;&gt;
and then jetted over to the actual festival.
&lt;p&gt;Of course no pride would be complete without drag queens&amp;hellip;..
&lt;img border=&#34;3&#34; align=&#34;right&#34; style=&#34;padding-right:10px&#34; src=&#34;http://transadvocate.com/images/pride/Untitled-9.jpg&#34;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I started to pass out flyers with information about the &lt;a target=&#34;_blank&#34; href=&#34;http://www.hrc.org&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&gt; HRC&lt;/a&gt; and their sponsorship of non-inclusive hate crimes legislation, all the while they pretend to advocate for us. The response from most people was great!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&#34;http://transadvocate.com/images/pride/Untitled-12.jpg&#34;&gt;
How straight do I look here? OMFG :)
&lt;img src=&#34;http://transadvocate.com/images/pride/Untitled-13.jpg&#34;&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The HRC people gave me that &amp;ldquo;Oh god!! The Jehovah&amp;rsquo;s Witnesses are at my door!!&amp;rdquo; look. Oh fucking well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I went over to the INTRAA booth for a bit of a visit.
&lt;img border=&#34;3&#34; src=&#34;http://transadvocate.com/images/pride/Untitled-23.jpg&#34;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&#34;http://transadvocate.com/images/pride/Untitled-20.jpg&#34;&gt;
I met Bree there.... omg.. um... she&#39;s cute, and very articulate too.
I also saw the founders of INTRAA, Bryan and Lori Sirtosky.
&lt;img src=&#34;http://transadvocate.com/images/pride/Untitled-27.jpg&#34;&gt;
TG folk around the state owe these two a lot. They have put a lot of time and effort into building INTRAA into what it is today.
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;http://www.indyboyz.com/&#34;&gt;Indy Boyz&lt;/a&gt; were also at pride. These two pics I got are both from F2M&amp;rsquo;S AND ARE PRICELESS!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&#34;http://transadvocate.com/images/pride/Untitled-24.jpg&#34;&gt;
&lt;img src=&#34;http://transadvocate.com/images/pride/Untitled-18.jpg&#34;&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then Lexy and I went to the mall, then back home. She got ready to go to her High School reunion, then she left :( . She was a lot of fun!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Went to work and worked 12hrs&amp;hellip;&amp;hellip;. then came home.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;:) Long weekend!&lt;/p&gt;
