Pride Challenges!
Happy June everyone! June is Pride month, where any gay, lesbian, trans, and everything between can be their true selves and never have to fear a judgmental society. While I myself am not a member of the LGBT+ community, I'm sadly a boring straight cis-male. However, I am an ally and big supporter, and I wish to show my support and appreciation with this year's new theme challenges.
For those new on Prose I like to create challenges centered around a specific theme such as romance or horror or science fiction. This time around I've chosen to create challenges centered around Pride month. We all know someone who is part of the LGBT+ community, whether that someone is a friend or a family member. Perhaps you yourself are a part of the community. Maybe you're open or maybe you're still in the closet. Regardless, this is about celebrating those in the community and saying that they are loved and accepted.
Please fill free to enter one or all of the following challenges. And please tag me so I can check out your awesome entries.
Best of luck! And remember, love is love!
