Pride | UniK-4 | Writing Event | ArtoonsInn

June is the best month of the year because it’s also the gayest. It’s a month to honor the Pride.

In a broad sense, each person belonging to the LGBTQ+ community goes through the below phases:

1. Discovering that one is not like others.
2. Assuming that others won’t understand.
3. Getting courageous to make it public.
4. Not caring about what others think.

Pick at least one phase and write a story set in that phase in the life of an LGBTQ+ person.

NOTE: This is an Open Event for anyone to participate.

–>Though this is an open event, Claws Club and Beaks Club members of ArtoonsInn are exempted from winning in the event, however, the best stories written by the Claws and Beaks’ members will be awarded a Python card.
–>Participation cards are awarded for all participants.
