I started this wanting to tell queer stories from the heart of Africa, and I’m so pleased with how well we did. For Pride Month this year, I wanted to help people find community, and in many ways, we did that.

It’s been a glorious 30 days, and although we couldn’t hit the goal of 30 stories, we touched the hearts of many with the stories we did tell. I couldn’t be more grateful for that.

Pride Month may be over, but you aren’t. Keep being your gay ass self, keep living your truth, keep finding joy in the little things and the big things, keep giving and receiving love, keep being fruity to the max. You are valid, your presence here is appreciated, there will always be love and space for you in this house.

So for the last time, happy Pride Month. We go again next year.
