2023-06-25 - Went to the pride parade!

As expected, things didn't turn out how we wanted. The pride parade in the capital was postponed, so we went to pride in our city! Of course, Genya came with us!

It was really fun. I enjoyed it thoroughly. I was a little grumpy by the end of the route, but it was a really healing experience. In the middle of so much hatred for our community, I saw happy faces and a dire need to keep fighting!

My happiest memory was being able to get my flag. My best friend got it for me, and I'm very grateful for her!

Hopefully we'll get to go to the capital next year!
