This weekend the ACLU of Maine marched in the Southern Maine Pride Parade, and we couldn't have had a better time. The weather was gorgeous, the crowd was passionate, and our contingent of marchers had a great time showing their pride and waving at the many well-wishers that lined the streets of downtown Portland.

Throughout the parade we showed off signs that read "I'm on Team Edie," in reference to Edie Windsor, the ACLU's client in our landmark lawsuit challenging the Defense of Marriage Act. Many people instantly recognized the reference, and for those that didn't we were happy to explain. (You can learn more about Edie and her case by clicking here.)

It was great to be part of Southern Maine Pride again this year, and much like last year's event felt like a precursor to a big victory at the polls in November, we hope that this year's parade foreshadows a big win at the Supreme Court later this month. The Court is likely to hand down their decision on Edie's case in the next couple weeks, but we don't know the exact date yet.

Thank you to everyone who marched with us, and here are a few photos from the day:
