A PRIDE MEME

Happy Pride! A day for celebration, a day for protest, a day for LGBTQ+ communities to pull out all the stops and fill the streets with glitter, rainbow flags and cheer. Whether you're part of the community or an ally, you're welcome to celebrate the undefeatable forces of love. If you're not an ally? Well, you can try to avoid it as best you can or try and stage your own protest at your own risk. Through rain or shine, the celebration will endure.

HOW TO PLAY

• Comment with your character and preferences.
• RNG if you feel up to it or go at random.
• Reply, reply, reply! Meet new people or keep it regular, but celebrate!

SCENARIOS

1. MARCHING IN THE PARADE: Whether you're in it for fun, in it for a political group, or representing your workplace, you're in the parade! Hand out flyers, wave your flags, cover yourself in paint, glitter, and make sure you can walk a long way in your shoes.

2. WATCHING THE PARADE: Walking in the thing is hard work, but finding a good place to watch it from isn't easy either! Maybe you're stuck in the back or standing on a garbage bin, maybe you're pushed through or squatted your spot near the fence. Either way it's crowded, but the parade is exciting and a good time for all!

3. STAY AT HOME: Maybe you hate crowds, or you're sick. Maybe you had to work, or had some other engagement. For whatever reason, you're missing the festivities. You can keep up on the internet though, or text your friends who are there! Maybe if you're really lucky, it's going past your window.

4. RAINED OUT: It's not always going to be a perfect day for a parade. You're rained out! The parade keeps going through it, but the crowds are less, the bars are packed, and makeup and paint are running down faces all over. Make the best of it.

5. PARTYING: This is what it's all about, once the parade is over. The bars and clubs are packed and going all night. Have a hell of it a time dancing and drinking with drunk, friendly strangers! The streets are just as packed as the bars, the whole city is a party for one night only.

6. HOOKING UP: With all this physical contact and adrenaline, it's not a surprise that you've ended up getting intimate! Maybe you're making out with your partner, or your best friend. Maybe you're going home with a stranger. What happens at Pride stays at Pride, right?

7. IS THAT THE SUN?: Party's over, friends. You're tired and drunk, or maybe still full of adrenaline, but the clubs are closing and it's time to navigate through a street littered with flyers, rainbows, and endless beer cans to get home to your bed. That is, unless you're already in somebody else's.

AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE A GAY PRIDE PARTY!
