It was fucking amazing! I had never been so surrounded by love my whole life. I met some wonderful friends.
I went with a couple of my friends, Jamie and Arthur, we first walked with the flag and got talking to someone called Pandora, she was really nice and also pansexual, like yours truly. We also stroked some doggos and gave some humans high fives. Everyone was SO LOVELY AND NICE. I also met five drag queens, which was awesome and they all looked stunning ngl. When we had the actual festival kind of thing I brought a little pride flag and stuck stickers all over it, stickers I'd got from around the place so they were all LGBT related. I also brought two wristbands and a bracelet with the trans flag colours on. Also brought a whistle, me and my (new) friends Louie and Flynn decided that they could be pronoun whistles, someone gets your pronouns wrong, toot toot mother fucker.
Anyway, how I met my friends is another story. As everyone has probably figured out, these past few months has been one fucking hell of a ride, but saturday? I've not been that happy in so long, I could not stop smiling. Whilst walking around we noticed there was a circle of people, holding up a sign that said 'we need friends!' on it. We were both like 'us too!' And we sat down with them. We introduced ourselves and shared instagrams and all that shit. Me and Jamie decided we wanted milkshakes, these two lovely wonderful humans came up with a 'TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS' except it said, 'TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAS RIGHTS' and that was now a lovely inside joke. I was like 'wow trans, me too! Pronouns?' Louie said he/him, Flynn said they/them. I said he/they, Jamie said he/him. Anyway, they were offering free hugs so we all gave eachother hugs and chatted for a bit. We were like 'do you wanna join our circle!?' They said yes and then we brought our milkshakes.
If anybody is interested I got an oreo one and it was delicious.
Anyway, we had now formed a cult, the gay cult. We paraded around recruiting members and honestly there are so many of us now, we couldn't fit everyone into the instagram groupchat. We met another Ryan as well! We took a photo together. Then, after lots of group selfies from Jake, we decided we would go to McDonalds. A lot of people had to leave, Louie sadly included. But we went to McDonald's anway, there was about eleven of us there. Me, jake, arthur, Louisa, Oshi, Lee, Tee, Flynn, Jamie, Alice, Amy. It was incredible.
Now I'm wishing they didn't live an hour away. We're gonna meet up soon though.
