“You’ve left a mark on the world if you just get through it.”
The most beautiful movie I've ever seen. Not in aesthetic, but in spirit; watching these stunning men and women live so freely, so safely, and so joyfully in this safe space they've created, a space where they're allowed to be themselves as much as they're allowed to be the dream versions of themselves– it's like a religious experience. There's nothing as wonderful as watching people feeling on top of the world that wants to kick them down. Couldn't help but smile through so much of it– I am warm and full of love!! God bless Pepper LaBeija. Happy Pride, everyone.
