    Okay so, in my city we have a pride week/s. I want to go with my friend to the raising of the flag on June 3, but that's a Tuesday… my mom hardly let's me be late for school. She knows I'm gay, that's why I think I can go. I really want to go and have pride. This will be my first celebration of pride. I just got to ask. Should I do it? Will she go with me?

    It's definitely worth asking your mom about it

    Hi there! If it is important to you to be there, and want to witness your first raising of the flag, it wouldn't hurt to ask. Ask your mom if she would like to go with you to the event, and see what she says.

    Definitely ask your mom! As for whether she will go with you, I think that's up to her.

    This is really important to me, and what if she says no? That is the first day to Pride Week/s
    I'm just really scared, that she'll say no, and I won't be able to experience it.
    Also how would I say it to her. Can you guys give me starter sentences to say to her? PLEASE!

    I'm not really sure what to say, but at least say something -- if you don't ask you definitely won't be able to go but if you do you might.

    Just be calm and approach your mom when she's relaxed and not preoccupied with something else. Tell her that you've been thinking about this for a long time and explain how much it would mean to you if she'd go with you.

    Good luck! :slight_smile:
