Today I had an experience unlike any other: the biggest celebration of LGBT pride in the middle of San Francisco. It was...chaos. A truly combustive grouping of the most bizarre (and fabulous!) people I have seen to date. I am an engineer; I love counting. I saw:
- 12 Starbucks along the parade route
- At least 10 million sequins
- 4.5 stark naked people strolling down the street (the 0.5 actually accounts for an entire cohort of topless women)
- Hundreds of thousands of people joining together to sing a message of acceptance.
I was told that Alan Eustace, Googler's SVP of Engineering, is quite the dancer! I am proud to work at a company which can openly accept and celebrate diversity of the people on this earth. Now onto an impossible task: attempting to remove a fraction of the 10 million sequins which surreptitiously accumulated on my clothing over the day.
