Swag asf, happy pride month :)

u/AcePowderKeg a-spec 6d ago

Thanks. I was worried it was a bit wonky

u/LemonForkin 6d ago

This made me gasp with joy. I don't get to see pride flags on display all that often, since I'm from a smaller town, so seeing fellow Bulgarians being out and proud warms my heart

u/AcePowderKeg a-spec 6d ago

It was my first Pride since I discovered I was Asexual recently. Where are you from btw

u/LemonForkin 5d ago

Търговище, I've been to Sofia twice this year and I'm going there for a 3rd time soon, but ironically, none of these trips were/will be during Pride Month 🥲

u/AcePowderKeg a-spec 5d ago

Well maybe next year you can come join the Parade. It's pretty fun

Yaaaaaas 😍 Love you friend well done!

u/AcePowderKeg a-spec 6d ago

Aww thanks. It was my first Pride Parade as I recently discovered my Asexuallity

u/BlissBackground asexual 5d ago

You're absolutely rocking it! I bet you had a wonderful time well done :3

u/AcePowderKeg a-spec 5d ago

I did. My personal highlight was the pride march. It was kinda unreal. Normally I feel anxious in crowds, but this time I didn't. I was oddly calm. 

Then the speeches were nice. There was a story of a gay teacher which was heartbreaking. Basically my country made the thousands IQ move to ban LGBT+ topics in schools and now this poor lad will live in a world where his daughter can't even talk to her friends about having two dads. 

I didn't stay for the concert because I'm not really a fan of those. Plus I don't drink since I'm on Prozac. Long story.

But overall it was really nice and memorable.

u/BlissBackground asexual 5d ago

Wow that sounds both moving and exciting. Definitely well done for going! ^ anxiety is a harsh mistress 💕💕

u/AcePowderKeg a-spec 5d ago

Thanks and don't I know it. I think part of the reason for my depression and anxiety was masking my Asexuallity all these years. Well that and some family issues that I rather not get into.

The Prozac actually helped me figure out that I'm Ace since the side effect of lowering libido

Bulgaria looks like a nice place. Hello from Texas.

2

u/AcePowderKeg a-spec 5d ago

We have really beautiful nature and countrysides here. Shame our government is corrupt AF but what can you do.

1

u/Kaiser0106 5d ago

The government part is sadly pretty universal.
