The Gay Parade was a happening that shook the whole city's foundations. For a moment I got lost in this crazy human turmoil. What a beautiful sensation of solitude and peace among the exultant multitude of masks! I felt like I was floating on the crests of the waves. I joined the crowd, despite the displeasure of the police who were there. They were trying to separate the paraders from the ordinary rubbernecks on the street. I tried to explain to them I was gay, too, but didn't sound too convincing. Probably because I wasn't wearing a mask. But do all gays have to wear a mask? What if it were the other way around? Next time I go to a parade I'll wear the mask of a heterosexual. But what does this mask look like? And where can you buy one?
