Think
that
when
a
city
has
it
it's
less
of
a
large
gathering
and
more
of
we
are
representing
our
community
as
separate,
it's
not
a
divide
of
the
communities,
but
it's
definitely
like.
We
have
queer
people
that
live
here
and
we
have
people
on
the
entire
spectrum
that
live
here
and
here's
a
chance
to
represent
you
in
our
local
space.

So
as
a
kid,
I
grew
up
in
a
small
town
in
wisconsin
I'm
a
transplant
I
know,
but
I
didn't
have
any
of
this
and
being
able
to
have
it
as
an
outlet
not
only
for
entertainers
or
people
of
different
gender
identities
who
are
looking
to
express
themselves.
But
it
also
gives
our
kids
a
chance
to
also
see
that
if
that's
where
they
are
going
to
be
and
that's
who
they
were
born
to
be,
then
it's
okay
and
there's
a
community
to
like
celebrate
it
with
them,
and
I
stand
firmly
behind
all
of
that.
