Thanks, tim. Maybe if I had another foot of height that'd make a difference. As it is, showing affection to my husband in the open is a gamble - and it's always a calculation we take. I like Myles. He started as someone who liked Jace, but he couldn't empathize. Not really. As soon as he realized what kind of world Jace had to live in, he changed. A real friend, when presented with the trial of someone they value will help bear it. And that's what Myles did.

Hello, all. I hope everyone is doing well. And ... I just wanted to say ... @kbois's pride short is very well done. Seriously. You should all check it out and show it some love, because it genuinely deserves a look. @Mikiesboy told me it was good, but it still impressed me. -
Thanks, W_L. My husband and I faced similar situations even when vacationing in Ashland, OR. It's a small place, but it's known for art, social enlightenment, etc. If there was anyplace we should be able to hold hands on the west coast, apart from a "gay" neighborhood, that should have been it. But no. No. For our own safety, we had to stop. The attention and comments we got were just too much.

Thanks, kbois. And yeah, Myles had no idea, because he'd never had to think about it. Once that changed, he quickly realized how right Jace was. But ... once he did, he also showed himself to be a real ally. 🙂

Thanks, Chris. Even in socially liberal places, it's an act of courage to simply hold the hand of my husband. And it shouldn't be. Maybe someday.

Myles and Jace are roommates, and Myles doesn't understand why Jace feels so strongly about Pride. A bet is made; a lesson is learned, and Jace gets to see Myles's true colors.

I ... don't know how to explain this one without wrecking it for readers. Just know you will be in for a treat. Take it for a spin, and allow yourself to surrender to the Devil. 😈

Wow ... this was awesome! Great job, kbois! It's a fantastic take on "Pride," it really is. Nicely done. Seriously.

WHAT??! The woman, @kbois, who referred to me as "Cliffhanger Harry" is now guilty of one herself? Well. My, oh my. -

I'm still waiting to find out what spawned this flurry of notifications! -
Thanks, Ford! I've improved a bit, thanks to Thorn's editing, and his instruction too. The next chapter is unedited by Thorn, though. It's just me and my Grammarly program (not perfect, but it does help). If you find anything wrong, by all means let me know. I'll never be a comma wizard, but that's okay. 😄 I hope you continue to enjoy these. I really like writing them - they're fun forays into the world of the campground!

Hey! And I like how you didn't even tag me, so I couldn't defend myself! I see how you are! 😛 -

Just post date it for 21 June, Noon. That's the only thing that needs to change from my post above. I saw your post on the submission string, but I can't see your story. So you're probably good! -

Thanks, @Mikiesboy! I changed my post date. I thought I had found every post associated with the event, but I guess not. -

Ok! Yes, @kbois, post dating works. Be sure, on the last page before you submit that you’ve unselected the “publish now” box and you’ve entered a day/time prior to the cut-off on 19 June. I have mine set for 1 AM (PST) 19 June. I just linked it in Renee’s thread. Now, we wait! 🙂 -

Thanks for giving it a try, Reader. Hrm. Were you able to see/click on the single chapter in the story home page? If not, I think it's working how post dating is intended to work. If you can get into the story and read now, then something's not right. -

Thanks, that makes sense. I think I did it. Can someone try and follow this link? It shouldn't work until 1 AM on 19 June (when I set it up to post), I don't think, but I am curious if it does. -
"I mean, why do gays need Pride anyway? If you want to prove you should be treated like everyone else, why have this thing just to celebrate how different you are?" Jace shot an irritated look at Myles, his very straight, usually cool roommate. "Because straight people aren't attacked or verbally assaulted in the street for holding the hand of the person they love. That's why we need Pride. And it's why I'm going tomorrow." Myles curled his lip, never looking away from the screen. He p

I think you're right. It's just odd the second instruction didn't include the post date bit, so I wondered if it was still necessary. Okay. I think I'm going to go try and set it up, and we'll see how it goes. Wish me luck! -

Yeah. Other than that first author, I just don't see anybody else posting ... which makes me wonder. -

Okay. Maybe I am just being very dim ... but I'm wondering what the requirements are for submitting our Pride short stories. In one post, we're told we need to post date the stories. In the next, we're told to copy the link into the thread without mention of post-dating. Can someone with access to the Writer's Club look at the threads and tell me which is what Renee intended? I messaged her yesterday, but she hasn't replied. Thanks! -

Happy Sunday, all. 🙂 -
Thank you, belisima! I'm so happy you enjoyed this story. Joe deserves to be happy, and so far he has never even gotten a chance to try. But now, maybe he can start on that path. There's more of these little stories to come. Stay tuned!
