So once again i can feel my panic and axiety kicking in, I really want to go to Portland's Gay Pride Festival next weekend, but after all the horrible things happening in Portland i have to admit i am scared, but i feel also that it's really important at times like this to not be afraid.
I really want to go and enjoy myself and see so many friends i have not seen in awhile, and make some new friends.
I really have not been out and around many other gay men in quite some time, and it's about time and what better way then a Parade, and Concert, and all the other festivities.
My one problem is i do not want to take the Transit, so i am asking friends if they are going so we can carpool together, if nothing else and i do take transit i am making sure im with a group of friends....

You need to go. Just be extra cautious and aware. Being frightened is what the bad people want. Besides you'll miss out on a fun time.

If you csnt get some friends to go then I think you should go and have a good time. Everybody needs to get out and have fun sometimes. Just be careful.

don't ever be afraid of anything in your live. this is not an advise, it's a rule.
