2022 Pastel Pride!!! (Patreon)

*Shit ton of sappy sentimentality incoming - you've been warned XP*

///

This is a collection of all 18 headshots done for Pride 2022!!

Not very coincidentally, it's also the first pride I've been able to celebrate in any amount of openness. I've come out (not on my own timeline, but nevertheless out) to a parent, will possibly be coordinating t-shots sometime within the year (YAYYERR MAN JUICE), and will be going to SF Pride in just under a week. But best of all, I'm surrounded by some of my favorite people and will be with friends and this lovely community this year. 

Coming from someone who grew up in an exceedingly conservative, homophobic little bubble of a hometown, I've been painfully repressed and ashamed of my queer identity since middle school and it.. really means everything to me that I can finally start showing my true colors. I type this with tears in my eyes, hours away from meeting up with some friends to celebrate being the way we are. We're valid and deserve to be here!! I'm so incredibly grateful, humbled, and inspired by all of you and your journeys, and thankful that they've allowed us to meet. Happy Pride, everyone!!!

all my love,
