Going to a pride parade in the city soon, and going to drive some of the more inebriated LGBTQ friends of mine home that day too.

I'm hoping to attend a pride event in-person (I've never been to one!) but I'll have to travel because my city does pride in the fall. Not sure if that will work out :/
You live in GA? :P Atlanta pride is some fun, but it is very busy. If you're looking for something a bit more intimate, Savannah pride has been wonderful when I've gone.
Thanks for the suggestion! I don't live in GA, but I do have family there.
I’m playing bass for a production of Kinky Boots if that’s anything. I’m also working up the courage to come out to my close friends.
I'm trying to do this too, I'm already out to some friends, but I want to come out to my best friend and that's going to be huge for me.
I'm working mostly from home, but when I'm in the office I will always wear some kind of pride shirt this month. Otherwise there is not that much happening, at least in RL. We do not have Pride here, "only" Christopher Street Day but that's in July. But I plan to attend there (it's more like a demo, not a parade). Maybe I will finally get in contact with the local queer community. I'm not very social, so I don't like to attend events alone. But pride month might give me a little push :)
I painted my nails for the first time, in pursuit of understanding my gender.
How have you liked it? I felt like I couldn’t pick anything up when I first tried it. What color did you choose?
I love it! The color variety was certainly overwhelming, but i settled on a dark blue.
Going to my first Pride not-single
Maybe watch some queer-positive TV shows (I don't know of many, anyone got suggestions?) and buy some new pride gear from LGBTQ+ businesses.
Perhaps you've heard of them already, but here are a few I've enjoyed over the past couple of years:
- Our Flag Means Death (gay pirates, very cozy vibes)
- A League of Their Own (the formation of the first all-female baseball league during WW2, excellent lesbian representation, strong writing and themes)
- Pose (a look into 80s ballroom culture, strong trans representation, but I'd only recommend the first season bc the writing quality sharply drops in the next two imo)
- What We Do in the Shadows (queer vampire roommates and their queer human servant get into various antics, really funny)
