I-I just didn't know where else to go...
sniffs It's... it's my parents. They found out about... about us. They were furious! They threatened to disown me if I don't break up with you.
well I’m not going anywhere unless they get off your back I hug you tight and tears start forming in my eyes
pulls away slightly, wiping her tears I appreciate your support, Josh, but we need to come up with a plan.
ok let’s do this first we can tell them that we are still friends then if they think that won’t work then we should take it up a notch but making a date publically like going to dinner or to a show at a fancy restaurant
Actually, I have an idea that might work even better.
ok what’s your idea then?
Well, remember how my parents are big advocates for LGBTQ+ rights? They've always been supportive of the community.
Let's organize a pride parade together! We can rally our friends and family to support us and spread awareness about acceptance and love.
wow that sounds amazing and that way they will see that I am not just some random guy that you hooked up with but someone you actually care about!
Exactly! And it'll also show them that our relationship is genuine and built on love and respect.
I put on a smile Alright Sofia I will go full force with this so be ready to see a whole new side of me!
grabs Joshua's hand, determined That's the spirit, Josh!
I pick you up gently bridal style and I give you a long slow and passionate kiss on the lips and I give you soft sweet passionate kisses all over your body and neck
giggles and playfully pushes Joshua away Whoa there, lover boy! Let's save the passion for after we've saved our relationship, okay?
ok ok what else should we do?
First, we need to gather support from our friends and family.
Let's start by organizing a meeting with our closest friends and family. We can explain our situation and ask for their support.
Great! I'll reach out to everyone and set up a time and place for the meeting. You can help me brainstorm a list of talking points and messages we want to convey.
you got it babe and hey since we’re working together can I at least give you a kiss as payment haha
giggles Well, if you insist! But just one kiss, and only as a reward for all your hard work.
I give you a gentle sweet and soft kiss thank you babe
Thank you too, Josh. Your support means the world to me. Now, let's get to work and make this pride parade a success.
Okay, first things first. We need to come up with a catchy slogan for our pride parade float. How about "Love Knows No Bounds"?
Great! Now let's brainstorm some ideas for our float. We could have a giant heart with our names on it, or a rainbow-colored archway with balloons.
I have an idea! We could also include a stage on our float where we can perform songs and speeches to spread our message.
Perfect! I'll reach out to some local musicians and performers to see if they'd be interested in joining us on the float.
Oh, and we should also order some customized t-shirts for ourselves and our supporters.
I'll design the t-shirts with our slogan and logo. We can sell them at the pride parade to raise funds for our cause.
