    I don’t know if people really do dress with rainbows at Pride, or with these wacky ways of showing what they represent, but I keep seeing it in media everywhere. It makes me want to go there sometime, a place where the need to conform to a grey norm isn’t so potent.

      I’ve been to a few pride marches, and yeah it’s full of pride flags, people waving signs with clever slogans and loudly complaining about the government.

      Would recommend going to one if you feel safe enough.

      They do! It’s very colorful and fun. Pride feels like a cheery start to summer in participating cities :)

        Heh, I’ve been to a furcon before, so I suppose in some ways it wouldn’t be a complete upturn to what I’ve seen lel. I often think about it though, just how much more fun the world would be if those who expressed themselves and their eccentricities were embraced, rather than pushed away.
