the town i was passing through today was having some kind of lgbt event or pride im not 100% sure. i was wearing my rainbow scarf by coincidence so i certainly looked the part at least. there were so many ppl there wearing flags (i saw gay, bi, pan, trans and ace). it was nice but i felt exposed and nervous bc i’ve never been to any prides or public lgbt events . some teens came over to me and gave me a little rainbow flag to wave which i thought was very kind considering they were definitely not working for the event or anything. it was nice to see so many people just being themselves
i feel like i now know how pigeons feel when they exist in public spaces around people. like yes i deserve to be here but i’m scared and hungry please don’t make any sudden movements
