Happy heavenly birthday Judy Garland

Before there was Cher or Madonna or Barbra or Bette and obviously Liza, there was Judy Garland

Our original beloved gay icon who was born 103 years ago today. 

We fell in love with her as Dorothy in The Wizard of Ozand stayed in love through her many other movies including Easter Parade, Meet Me in St. Louis, Summer Stock, The Harvey Girls and A Star is Born

Then there was the one glorious season of The Judy Garland Show and her final movies Judgment at Nuremberg and I Could Go on Singing.

The end came too soon – on June 22, 1969 at the age of 47 of an accidental drug overdose.

What a talent, what a woman. 

We will never forget her – obviously. 

Here is one of her most classic performances:

Greg in Hollywood for LA Pride Parade!

During a whirlwind weekend, I’m so glad I could just walk to the LA Pride Parade because I didn’t have to hassle with parking.

Was sleepily walking down Sunset Boulevard to Hollywood High School (I watch the parade from ABC7’s spot because it means everyone will pause for the TV cameras) and there was celebrity grand marshal Andrew Rannells standing outside the car he would be riding in! I went over to say hello and get a quick pic then headed to my post on Highland Avenue.

With immigration raids and protests taking place not too far away in Los Angeles, there was a strong solidarity vibe among many of the marchers. Despite some dark times, the queer joy was everywhere and could not be dimmed – thank God.

Here are some photos I took during the parade – a task I juggled with repeatedly checking my phone for updates on the epic French Open final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner which was one for the ages (yay Carlos!). After the parade, I got to meet ABC News correspondent Gio Benitez who anchors Good Morning America’s weekend editions and co-anchored parade coverage.
