SETTING:

1:23 PM. PRIDE EVENT IS ALMOST OVER. HOMOPHOBIC MAN (43) DRAGS HIS SON IN WHILE SHOUTING.

---

vee stared off into space, not focusing on anything except her girlfriend's hand.

it was part of company policy there had to be a pride event every now and then after gardenview reopened.

unfortunately for shelly and vee, they were the only public lesbians.

while at pride events, they were often sexualized and made uncomfortable, so they'd just stand there, holding each other.

today was different.

HOMOPHOBE: "WHY ARE YOU SHOWING THIS TO CHILDREN!!! THIS IS SO CURROUPT I HATE IT!! YOUR POISONING MY KID!!!!!"

vee looked over, and shelly tilted her head.

the homophobe grabbed shelly by one of her overall-dress straps, yanking her over and yelling mindless nonsense about the government.

vee's glare hardened, staring daggers into him.

how dare he? who does he think he is?? .. poor shelly..

📺| VEE: "you done?"

she said, eyes narrowed.

the homophobe walked over to her, shaking poor shelly like a ragdoll.

vee was not pleased.
