#chevent014

sawyer had never been to pride, but it was something he’d always dreamed of. when the kids back home would call him names and push him around like he was nothing, he’d think of the day he could be himself proudly and openly without fear of rejection or humiliation. sometimes he felt like that day would never come, but it had, and he now found himself surrounded by all the colors of the rainbow and the kind people of the town he now called home. sure, some insecurity still lingered in the back of his mind, but with the trans pride flag wrapped around him like armour and his face adorned with rainbow decals, he finally felt like the person he was always meant to be. 

pride was one of indy’s favorite times of the year. it was the one time of the year she could stand in solidarity with other people in her community and tell the world that she was here and unafraid. it was the one time of the year she could really stick it to her father and be over-the-top in her pride despite all the times he’d tried to shame her into being something other than who she was. it was the one time of the year she could pour glitter on herself and not be judged for it.

she had her float designs scattered across three different tables at sips, papers with sketches of motors, engines, and decorations all over the place. she had five empty tea cups at the edge of one of the tables, all of which were empty and stained at the bottom. “think, think, think,” she passed her pencil back-and-forth between her hands. “what goes well with fairy tale themed float? glitter or matte? metal or wood wielding?” she murmured, stopping for only a moment to write down her questions.

say it loud and say it proud, cape gayzel! it’s time to celebrate the lgbt+ residents of the cape with our weeklong pride festival with drag brunches, conferences, runs, dance parties, and all the good stuff to celebrate who we are. the festival will end with a parade through dock square and a party at sullivan’s pub. from today, june 12 to friday, june 21 you can post event starters on the dash using the tag #chevent014, and don’t forget to vote in this poll to decide when the discord event will be!
