We have some pride poses this year afterall! I wasn't really planning to make something because I always want to be a little different, but my interest sparked when I got an ask via @ts4-poses if someone maybe had the deleted posepack 'pride season' from ancasims, but I didn't have it. So I decided to remake it for you, in my own style.
'pride season'
6 couple poses and 2 single poses with pride flags ♥
DOWNLOAD (Patreon)
DOWNLOAD (SFS)
You need:
Cape: MESH | RECOLOR
Flags: Both version 1 and 2 here
VERY IMPORTANT
if you have the 'original' CLUMSYALIEN [FLAG VER 1 & 2] in your mods folder, temporarily take them out, placement is not accurate if you have them in, make sure you have the stigmata versions linked in this post!
♥~♥
Clipping sadly is inevitable due to sim bodies/faces being different, or the clothing they wear, but I try my best to fit most of them.
I heavily advice you to use the mod pose alignment interactions for easy snapping on objects!

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...I mean, oops, happy pride. This is a tough year to celebrate pride, and a tough time for me personally. I used to do a whole month of fun Pride CC, but it's just these terrible shorts this year. And that feels kinda fitting.
They were inspired directly by Target's horrendous wet fart of a "pride" collection this year. (Look here and here if you're unfamiliar.) I have some more thoughts that I'll continue with after the download, but this whole wretched collection feels like exactly what corporate america wants Pride to be. Quiet. Bland. Tame. Subtle. Things that queer people can't let them make us be.
The shorts come in english and simlish versions, with ugly socks and pathetic slides. AM only, with fat and preg morphs. The shorts are based on @mdpthatsme's 4t2 chinco shorts, but I made them shorter and brought them up to the TS2 waist, as well as recoloring and adding the butt text. The socks are my own edit of a TS4 texture. The slides are a conversion of @hexcodesims' TS4 Poolside Splash slides edit, with my own texture edit.

And if you're still reading, I have some things to say about how things are for queer americans right now. It's pretty grim. Our terrible president hates us, and so do all of his mindless followers. It's only 20-ish percent of the country, but they are so loud. They're so sure they're right. They want us dead, but they might settle for us going into hiding. Sad beige pride is still more pride than they want to see. It was done by Target as a compromise with the bigots. It pleases no one, even if it was a good laugh. It hurts too. It hurts that a corporation that used to make a big deal about Pride and even had trans inclusive swimwear one year caved so hard to the fascists. It hurts to see even the token support moneygrabs fade away...in a literal sense. The color went out of Target's pride. It's been drained.
Drained is the right word. It's how a lot of us feel, and scared. It's been exhausting watching our rights erode. Watching books about us being banned. Care being denied. Lies spreading. Laws against us. It feels like it only gets worse every year. Now the democrats are considering abandoning us in a bid to court voters from the right to their center-right party. We have no viable leftist party here. A leftist party would support our cause and try to earn our votes. The democrats would rather try to peel a few people over from the other side, which never works.
I'm sick and tired, of this country but also actually sick and tired. I never make it to my local Pride events, and I didn't even try this year. I'm happy to see the marches and protests and all of that going so strong, in spite...in opposition to the hate and gloom and conformity. Pride and No Kings and other marches and rallies had massive, vibrant turnouts. I love it. I wish I could be part of it. It's so important that we are seen, when they want us to vanish.
It gives me hope. We will make ourselves heard and seen. That's what Pride has been about all along. Fuck the beige.
Last year for Pride I did a tour of the queer sims in my legacy and I enjoyed it so much that I wanted to do it again this year. Here they are with a little glimpse of their stories!
Elisa, Marcus, and Bridget
These three have been navigating their polyamorous relationship since high school and they've only grown in their love for each other. They have three adopted daughters they are proud to see grow.
Bonnie and Carly
Queer cowgirls living out their best lives on the ranch. They have gone through some difficulties over the years, but their love has helped them work through them.
Ben, Jessie, and Blair
Jessie is Thea's spouse and proudly non-binary. They are celebrating with their queer best friends, Ben and Blair. The three of them like to tease Thea as the only cishet of the group.
Rachelle and Raiden
Rachelle is Elisa's oldest daughter. She has always known she is queer, but she struggled to feel comfortable with a label. It was only when she joined the queer scene in the city that she finally found comfort in being bisexual. She also met her husband, Raiden, a fellow bisexual.
Cristal Grimes
Cristal is Daphne's best friend and a proud lesbian. She recently married Lilith Vatore and is now living her best lesbian vampire life.
Kailani Kahale
In the most recent update, Kailani briefly hinted at her identity as an asexual. She hasn't done a lot of exploring herself now that she has been with Poseidon, but she could more closely identify as demisexual.
Thank you for reading about my sims!
