    Hi!
    I've been pretty disappointed lately, because the big pride parade is this weekend and I can't go (I live pretty far away.) Ironically, one of the days I'll be in Seattle for another obligation, but on the opposite side of town and my mom doesn't seem keen on going to the festivities xD
    I probably sound pretty whiny, but this year has sucked for me and it would've helped to feel that unity y'know. I'm sure lots of users here have been/are in the same situation, so, hell, let's celebrate our individuality and recent victories by ourselves :slight_smile:

    How are you guys going to celebrate alone? Rainbow cakes? Reading? Watching the #prideforeveryone stream?

    I celebrate it as simply as you possibly can: I don't hide my sexuality and try to improve myself. Internally I envy all those people who attend pride this year and hope that I can go next year. I've never been to pride and this year is the year I finally acknowledged my sexuality and made so much progress, so it would have been amazing to be able to go. Damn you, graduation prom!

    Awww, sis, I'm so sorry. :frowning2:

    I'd be pretty pissed to miss Seattle Pride honestly... That's one of my main goals for next year.

    When I went to Big Sky Pride this year, I went with someone I know but not terribly well, so I felt a little bit alone. Also we don't have a big crowd, and he knew most of the other people there while I didn't...

    Keep holding up the torch from wherever you are. (*hug*)

    I can't; I live in a cityvillage of 1,000 and there is absolutely nothing going on within a hundred miles of me. And honestly, I'm not the type for big festivals. I'd feel horribly out of place.

    So I'll just be sitting here at my computer. Working on things like I always do. Maybe I'll find a way to make a pride-related art piece.

    I think I've said this before on here, but sneaking away to pride, while a romantic and fantastical journey it surely would be, is impossible for me :3 I can get a lot of crap past my mom (bless her soul I love her but she was raised a catholic) but even I can't lie that good :wink:

    We don't have pride where I live *shrugs* and I couldn't anyway, because the kind-of-pride that's held in my country is too far and would definitely raise my parents' suspicions.

    I can't because I won't be around when my local Pride is taking place, and I'll be too late to go to the Pride at the place where I'm moving to. Maybe next year!

    I was hoping to go to Capital Pride earlier this month but I wasn't able to borrow anyone's car to get there. Also I wouldn't have anyone else who would've been willing to go with me and I would've felt awkward going by myself.

    There isn't a pride parade where I live, though there was one 6 hours away that I got to see that was on FaceBook.
