Love isn’t one-size-fits-all. It doesn’t follow a script. And it definitely doesn’t need permission to exist.

Being queer doesn’t come with instructions. It’s not linear. Not always loud. Not always clear. And that’s exactly why it’s powerful.

Pride is first and foremost a celebration of the LGBTQIA+ community. Of those who had to hide. Of those who still fight to be seen. Of everyone who chooses, every day, to live and love on their own terms — even when it’s not easy.

Festivals are all about celebration, freedom, and fun, but it’s essential to ensure that this joy comes with respect. Too often, behaviours considered "normal" become harassment. That’s why understanding the difference between respectful flirting and inappropriate behaviour is crucial for a safe and enjoyable experience.
