Michael loved being gay.

He was out and proud. What he wasn't thought was loud.

Maybe it was a confidence thing but he never liked to point to himself as a gay individual. Him being homosexual wasn't the most important thing about him. Who he loved didn't define him as a person.

When he was in high school not a lot of people knew he liked boys, mostly girls he turned down and was too nice not to tell them why.

"I can't believe you're 24 and never been to a pride." Stella, his very pansexual, genderfluid friend told him as they applied glitter all over his face.

"Does that make me a bad gay?"

They laughed and moved their hand so the glitter got all over Michael's black skinnies.

"Stella!"

They apologized and tried to rub the glitter off. It turned out the trousers looked even better with all the glitter so instead of trying to rub it off they put more on.

"We look like unicorns." Michael laughed as they took a selfie before heading out.

Michael has never been to pride but he has seen many of them on the TV.

In real life, it was even better. He knew exactly where the name came from because when he saw all the beautiful people he felt nothing but pride. Streets of New York were full and the pride didn't even begin.

"C'mon, I called Ashton they are at the end of the street."

Ashton was Stella's boyfriend which they met on Tumblr. He asked them what the fuck pansexuality meant and a week later he reblogged all of their pictures.

A few years later he was asking Michael for Stella's ring size.

"Will there be anyone else I know?" Michael asked as he was being pulled through the crowd.

"Well, Ashton said there will be a few people from your high school. I still can't believe you and Ash went to the same high school."

"It was a big school. I don't even remember ever seeing him."

Michael was quickly introduced to a couple of Ashton's friends. He knew a few football players and he even saw some people he hooked up with.

As the pride began they were singing and dancing.

What had cough Michael's attention was a beautiful voice somewhere near him. At first, he couldn't locate it but then he realized it belonged to a blond boy with a pride flag like a cape. Michael only saw his back but he was on top of some other guy's shoulders.
