10:25am | <\/strong>From where I was sitting (or standing or dancing), it seems a rapturously good time was had by all Sunday at the 2011 LGBT Pride Parade.<\/p>\n

The parade itself, though, almost seemed to take a back seat to the community’s (n.b., not just the gay community’s) having a lovely excuse to congregate along Ocean Boulevard and just be together.<\/p>\n

I’m no pro photographer, but here are a few images from my perspective. <\/p>\n
