At the beginning of this year a photograph I took of Matilda the Pirate caused some controversy when exhibited in the Oak Harbor Library. Somehow a guy with a purple beard and fake boobs was going to corrupt young people. Here on the Southend of Whidbey Island he was prominently marching in drag, and enjoying the parade which included both the mayor and police chief of Langley. Inclusivity & acceptance was the mode of the day, and everyone was having fun!
