"I Thought It Was Disney"
You've all heard of gay bars.
A place where LGBTQ+ members can drink, socialize, and have a good time with people who truly understand them.
But what about queer kids?
With homophobic parents, being underage, and lack of acceptance, they have nowhere to go to meet others like them, to form friendships, maybe something more.
Enter Gaybie's, a café on the corner of Blossom Avenue. On the surface, it seems normal, average, even plain. The walls are painted brown, and a small sign announces its existence in flowy, cursive lettering.
But the inside contains so much more:
warm coffee, multicolored cinnamon rolls, and a ridiculous amount of rainbows. Meaningful conversations, secret smiles, hearts beating in unison in a song no one else can understand.
And, most importantly, there are two people, one a Disney fanatic and the other a music lover, who keep who they really are inside the walls of Gaybie's, all because it's the only place where they won't be shoved back into the closet.
Because Gaybie's is more than a café,
it's a home. This is its story.
