In celebration of Pride Week, more than five thousand LGBTQ+ activists converged on Mexico City’s Zócalo to form the world’s largest human LGBT flag. Under a shower of rain and brandishing vibrant umbrellas, the colorful formation draped the historic Plaza de la Constitución, capturing global attention and shattering previous records.

Mexico City Mayor Clara Brugada joined the crowd led the choreography. She said during the event that “Mexico City is and will continue to be the city of rights and freedoms. This monumental image we draw with our bodies and colors will be a powerful message to the country and the world. Mexico City is the capital of pride, diversity, peace, and transformation.”

    1. I got it, MDavis, and I bet we all know that-your allyship (?) is well-known and appreciated!🌞

      That would be a fine, fun demonstration sometime, wouldn’t it?

      1. Well, I don’t like crowds so much.

        I do like rainbows, though, although my personal relationship with rainbows is really no one’s business and you wouldn’t believe it anyway.

        Apropos of nothing, here’s a Big City Greens clip – a series with very uneven watchability, although they did hit some of their stuff out of the park.

        1. Aw-I didn’t know that show even existed! This is a really nice clip, and I appreciate you posting it. Thanks, MDavis, and enjoy all the rainbows you feel like, no matter who’s around!🌈🌞💖

          1. One of my favorite bits from the show:

            Grandma: (slaps the “cursed” blue potato out of Cricket’s hand) “What’s the matter with you, boy?!”

            Cricket: “I don’t know, lot’s of stuff I guess!”

            I watch a lot of Disney shows. It all started with Phineas and Ferb.

            1. I need to look into those. We were always a NickToons home when the kid was small; now we get neither channel, but I subscribe to Hulu, so I’ll check out what Disney I can get. Thanks!

              1. We were Nick watchers, too, until Spongebob took over their airwaves. He was everywhere and, more to the point, it reduced any investment in other worthy cartoons. I like Real Monsters, with a couple of favorites being the Opera House scare and when Ickus got an attitude about being excluded from a scare at the carnival, dude.

                Disney – I suggest you start by checking out the Weird Al connection. He was Milo in Milo Murphy’s Law and also had a role in Gravity Falls. That show had a deliberately planned end game – and Alex Hirsch is some kind of freaky genius. He voiced, like, ten characters on that show. I do hope you find something fun to watch.

                1. Spongebob really did take over, you are correct! I remember that: we loved it, but once a day, and the first season was priceless. Then the US-Iraq war started, and it seemed as if everyone on the local peace list was watching Spongebob with their grandkids (not us; it was our kid) for mental health purposes, and the toon just bloomed everywhere on the schedule.

                  I have written down the names and info you wrote up above, so I can check it out over the weekend. Thanks!

                  1. I felt the same about the first season. I never caught on to the SpongeBob takeover being from escapism.

                    We weren’t the only ones to notice that… I once commented to someone in the housewares department at our local store that The Pioneer Woman was becoming the SpongeBob of housewares and she knew egg-zack-ly what I meant.

                2. We loved Real Monsters, though I don’t recall any episodes. We also liked Hey, Arnold, and Rocket Power. Then there was The Wild Thornberrys; I liked it really well, and the kid enjoyed it briefly, but he thought it was a girl toon. Which it was, really.

                  1. The Thornberrys were usually fun – how could they not with Tim Curry in the show? But Eliza never learned – don’t talk to the predators. And Rocket was even more “Rocket making the same dumb mistakes” every episode. I got enough of that by doing it in my own childhood. I did like the episode where the clutzy fried turned positively graceful when their Hawaiian friend took his surfboard away and gave him a longboard to try. I also learned there was something called vegemite from that one.

                    Did you ever watch the Angry Beavers? They were totally cartoon with that one, and it seemed like they were testing boundaries right out into the parking lot, just off the hook. Their Halloween special was a hoot. Oxnard Montalvo!

                    1. I think I mostly got a big kick out of their “microwave gas station bean burritos!” snacks they got for themselves after an adventure. The toon didn’t seem to last so long, or else that’s when the kid aged out of toons and into being elsewhere after school!

                    3. We didn’t get to “Angry Beavers;” I remember seeing that it was on, and asked the kid about it, and got a look that meant he didn’t wish to discuss TV with his mom. 😉

                  2. I had to look up who voiced Eliza; I had no idea that was Lacey Chabert!

                    Rocket Power and the bean burritos; it was always a good ending if they went to the gas station and got those. Whoever said it, always said it the same way every time, and made me crave microwave bean burritos. Also, I do not have those in the house, darn it!

      2. Hi Ali. I would love to be part of something like this. The problem is I can’t stand so would need my walker to stand and sit as I need to. But smaller demonstrations I could come and go to would be grand, like the no king rallies. Hugs

    2. Hi MDavis. Yes that includes you and we are here. Despite SCOTUS deciding that public schools having books in classrooms for story times that have LGBTQ+ themes or characters or reading them to kids with Christian parents violates the parent’s religious freedoms. Just knowing LGBTQ+ kids / families / people exist is somehow a violation of these kid’s parents religious rights. One of the justices asked what did that say to the LGBTQ+ kids and would they be stigmatized. Alito barely stopped himself from yelling “Yes that is the damn point”, “Push them all in the closet and make them afraid people will learn about their perversions”. It is so depressing. We on the left have to stop quaking and stand up and shout loud and proud as we did to earn our rights the first time. The tide turned against us when the democrats stopped defending the trans against the big money media push and let the right make being trans seem harmful to kids. Next it is gays are harmful to kids. Rinse and repeat until only straight cis white people are in the public society as it was in 1950. Hugs
