#rainbow projects

Anon, I totally agree that the Megamix is SCREAMING for a rainbow project, especially during SIBWAWC. I mean...why ELSE does Louis keep saying "Keep it going" during the whole "surrounded by lights" bit? Because as someone pointed out last night (I think it was @londonfoginacup)...there's no SINGING during that section. So what EXACTLY does he want to keep going?

The lights. Duh.

I am definitely not the person to undertake a project of this kind of magnitude (the IRL job is mentally draining and takes up so much of my bandwidth) but I am going to answer this ask in hopes of someone who IS that person seeing this post. I will be the first person to put up my assigned colors in Nashville and New York if this becomes a thing. You have my word on that.

FWIW, just because there hasn't been a set song, doesn't mean there haven't been rainbows! I've seen them at every show I've watched. But I totally get missing the en masse moment that OTB created.

Ladies, Gents & Non-binary friends,

Three, perhaps four tours to keep track is NOT going to be easy, but we wholeheartedly believe in making every single concert in 2020 a safe space for ALL fans (LGBTQ+ and other), and so THE GAME IS ON! Rainbow Direction is going solo and this blog will be your Rainbow Hub. 

In case you have no idea what Rainbow Direction is: have a look here; 

For those of you who know the drill: YOU KNOW THE DRILL! Get your rainbow, pride and blm flags ready, plan your projects, but most of all: DON’T FORGET TO SIGN UP TO LET US KNOW so we can advertise your project for you, and help you organize meetups with like minded people. Happy couples and lifelong friendships have been formed at these meetups, don’t miss your chance at an encounter with the best people in the world, we really recommend that you reach out and organize one.

The little rainbows on the map indicate who is organizing a rainbow / pride / LGBTQ+ supportive project & we’ll also put any other equal rights (including but not limited to Black Lives Matter) projects up if you let us know about them, because inclusiveness matters and all human rights are connected. Sign up, tag us, send us a link. We will be working on a handier overview that we’ll put up as a post here and as a page on our website. Meantime: Louis rainbow lights actions here & keep an eye on the  #rainbow lights and #rainbow direction tags.

Speaking of our website, we’ve been working on that as well. The design still needs some attention, but the history, press and youtube pages have been updated. In case you need a little extra motivation, or some cheering up :-)
