I participated in a pride march in an MMO that I play. Never participated in a real life pride event though, maybe I should one day. I know very few people in the LGBTQ community so it feels weird to just go there.
I don't have a flag and I would not put up a flag where I live. There is quite a risk that people would complain, most people are really accepting but so far I have seen only 1 flag in the city where I live. The office where I work did put up a pride flag though, so that was nice.
This was the first year I carried pepper spray, but I still went, and I still carried a flag
My town's Pride isn't too exciting, and I hate how many things about it are paywalled, but I always make it a point to show up and have conversations with people
Same here, mine are in July as well and in the past that has usually felt like it extended Pride month for me. This year is different though. I can't believe I miss rainbow capitalism.
