The Trojan Horse

She looked flamboyant, lurid, glitzy, extravagant and very proud!


Observing the cameras clicking from all directions, not once did she flinch or give an eye ball to the folks that pointed a lens at her in awe.

Absolutely stunning and she knew it! She had a poise that made her conspicuous amongst the thousands that had gathered at Key Arena for the Seattle Pride Festival 2009. Her rainbow mane glowed against the late afternoon golden rays. I watched her wide eyed, but my glass eye couldn’t stop blinking in an effort to embed this beauty in my digital memory.

She was there to battle the system and win rights for who she is and what she believed in. I christened her ‘The Trojan Horse.’
