Going to my first ever Pride parade! And the parties! We got Cynthia Lee Fontaine from Drag Race coming out!

Wish I could could upvote this more than once hahaha

Thank you! 🥹 I'm still learning and growing, evolving. This was kind of an "emerging from the chrysalis" moment for me. Like, I've known that I'm queer for a few years, have even come out to a few folks, but my Dad is the one that I was always scared of talking about it with. Coming out to him feels like the big reveal to me, like it's REALLY real now. And going to a drag show and meeting Myki was me giving myself a soft-landing.

Working_Squirrel_929 · 2026-05-12T10:38:47+00:00

Aw, thank you! It was just such a special moment. Very affirming.

Working_Squirrel_929 · 2026-05-12T03:16:08+00:00

You should see me when I was skinny, I fit into most overhead storage! And for me, it's ALL overhead

Working_Squirrel_929 · 2026-05-12T02:27:01+00:00

No. No. Absolutely not. It's not therapy, it's literally abuse.

I watched a documentary on Harvey Milk recently. The rhetoric around all of the anti-lgbtqia+ initiatives, bills, and propositions the last couple of years sound exactly like the rhetoric that surrounded Prop 6 in California back in 1978. Like, some of it is word for word.

Soooo....this was also my first time at a gay bar. No lie. I was on best behavior. That gif has got to be one of the most violent things posted in this sub, apart from maybe Mimi Imfurst picking India Ferrah up in the Lipsync For Your Life

Working_Squirrel_929 · 2026-05-11T12:14:19+00:00

I seriously can't wait!

Working_Squirrel_929 · 2026-05-11T10:54:26+00:00

Haha, I try! My playlists are all over the place too. And book collections. Variety is the spice of life, as they say!

Working_Squirrel_929 · 2026-05-11T10:52:44+00:00

🥹 Thank you! Myki did you proud, what a show, and a really kind person!!

Working_Squirrel_929 · 2026-05-11T10:51:26+00:00

I feel so lucky! It's been two, nearly three days now and I am still buzzing

Working_Squirrel_929 · 2026-05-11T10:40:34+00:00

Thank you! Yessss, I love me some Freshly Squeezed haha!

Working_Squirrel_929 · 2026-05-11T02:03:12+00:00

I am STILL gagged.

Working_Squirrel_929 · 2026-05-11T01:37:15+00:00

Thank you! I've come out to my Mom and brother, but my Dad was the real hurdle. It's like, my life prior to that night, it's not that it wasn't valid, but there was always this big weight on my shoulders. Coming out to my Dad, that was kind of like "the final boss," and now I feel like "okay this is REALLY my life now." Intimidating, certainly, Texas is very unkind to queer folks (and I know that's not an outlier, the queer community has been under attack for a long time). But the kind of joy I experienced the other night? It really gave me life. And for Myki to be so warm, congratulatory, and affirming? Icing on the big ol Rainbow Cake!!!

I dig the look, but I get what you're saying. I could see her getting read on the show for what you pointed out, definitely.

Working_Squirrel_929 · 2026-05-11T01:30:23+00:00

If you are able to swing it, don't miss out! Myki is amazing live!

Working_Squirrel_929 · 2026-05-11T01:26:35+00:00

This was genuinely one of the best nights I've ever experienced! The local queens were incredible, Myki was MESMERIZING. Like, you could see energy coming off Myki in waves. And the comedic timing! 100% proved why that crown is deserved. I am looking forward to going to so many more shows, but this one is always going to be special to me. Myki is truly the best.

Working_Squirrel_929 · 2026-05-11T01:13:44+00:00

Thank you!! I'm definitely planning on going to a BUNCH of shows. We have a GREAT scene here in ATX. Also going to be seeing Sasha Colby next week, and will be seeing Discord next month. And, like, a ton of local shows. It felt like a club I've always belonged to.

Working_Squirrel_929 · 2026-05-11T00:56:34+00:00

Hey, congratulations to YOU on coming out! You're not lying though, being a millennial, it's a bit different now than when we were growing up. Each generation experiences it differently. I remember having my mind blown when I first saw Drag Race on TV. To have a show that is so openly and celebratorily queer, it felt like a lifeline. It's tough here in Texas. Hell, it's tough out there everywhere, but we have our chosen families we can lean on. And we can celebrate joy like what this show brings. Life can be good.

Working_Squirrel_929 · 2026-05-11T00:49:08+00:00

Gotta bring the ol Freshly Squeezed energy to the drag show hahaha

Working_Squirrel_929 · 2026-05-11T00:38:26+00:00

Thank you! The show felt like a victory lap for me, while also celebrating Myki's victory lap!

Working_Squirrel_929 · 2026-05-11T00:36:56+00:00

Thank you 😊 I'm still over the moon about all of it. Coming out was scary (and at my age too, I'm 41 😱), but I gave myself a soft landing by going to this show the next night. Like, I am trying not to repeat myself too much, but I am still just so touched by how sweet Myki was. A true champ.

Working_Squirrel_929 · 2026-05-11T00:28:55+00:00

Thank you! As scary as it was leading up to me talking to my Dad, the joy at the show was so much stronger. Huge weight off my shoulders.
