The festival (almost) got rained out and several people would have prepared for weeks to be told their voices couldn't be heard and their art couldn't be enjoyed. BUT our beautiful rainbow community showed up and our supporters and Allies had our backs and we all got on that stage and cleaned and dried like our lives depended on it. Because in a way...it did. In a world where so many of us are told no, where our relationship and gender orientations are constantly under attack, where we are killed, brutalized, and discriminated against, there are certain sacred spaces that we get to Just Be. We did not allow our space and platforms to be taken away.
I want to thank every performer at Pride who grabbed a towel/blanket, shortened their set, prayed, kept their outfit on, stood up, called bullshit on cis het men acting like God, danced, sang, and performed while being rained on. Baby, we know rain.... and we always know how to find the Rainbow🌈
THANK YOU Jess for being a killer stage manager and being so kind and thoughtful and beautiful.
The audience that stayed through the rain to support and cheer us on!!! The energy GAVE.
And a special thanks to the band @the_nickila , @marlenaboed @emanuwill , @ianbeats__ and @courtneyofduluth !!! I'm so proud ofus!!(pictures to come) your commitment and dedication and talent made this show possible I love you all. I can't believe we found each other. AND WE HAVE MORE IN STORE FOR YOU BECAUSE WE ARE STAYING TOGETHER!!!
