by Jae Ann Atwood June 2005 The theme of Portland's Pride celebration held June 18-19, 2005 was "Everyday People." Affirmation's entry in the parade was anything but everyday. Working with our own theme of "Missionary Impossible," Portland's Affirmation chapter wore (mostly) white shirts and ties, but no one wore them in the usual way. Chapter co-chair Jason Giles wore a harness under his white shirt, and Kevin Cox wore his shirt around his waist. We followed a truck sporting the Affirmation banner and playing such songs as "Missionary Man," "Goody Two Shoes" and "It's a Sin." Affirmation's parade entry always gets a good reaction from the crowd. Many thanks to Kevin Cox for planning the theme, arranging for the truck and making the many clever signs carried by Affirmation members.
