🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 Let’s kick it off with this super fab No-Bake RAINBOW cheesecake! 🌈 For those of you who don’t know what PRIDE MONTH is, it’s about celebrating 🥳 the LGBTQI+ community. It’s not going to shock a lot of you that I’m a super queen 👑 . She’s gay 🌈 henny. Out and prouwdddd-dah! **Lip click** Just 5 years ago I was deeply in the closet. And I mean deeeeeep. Like Narnia ❄️ deep. I was living in my own fantasy. Let’s not call it a fantasy though, cos it was more like hell. I reached a really low point and things got dark for a bit. I was terrified to admit to myself that I was gay. And I was terrified that if I did, I would lose those around me that I cared about. Getting to the point where I could feel proud and comfortable with myself, but more importantly safe, was a slow process. But today, in 2019 I’m sitting on my couch eating a piece of this fab cheesecake (which is deceptively easy to make btw) with my boyfriend next to me. I mean, if someone told me I could say that sentence in 5 years I’d think they were mad! But i feel like I’ve found myself. Nick wasn’t supposed to suppress himself, he’s supposed to be a 33 year old man who bakes pretty things all day. I love that queer people have given themselves an entire month to celebrate pride. It’s truly wonderful! The more awareness we bring to those who are afraid or uneducated about the LGBT community and help them understand we’re just like everyone else and deserve to be treated with the same respect and dignity, the better. Let’s not just do that for a month though. Let’s do it everyday. I feel safe and proud to be myself. But I can’t help but think of those though who don’t feel safe to be themselves. The Scran Line is a safe space for all people who want to be themselves and spread a positive message. The comments section is a place where you can feel safe to express yourself freely. Thanks to everyone who supports and loves me for who I am! You all help make The Scran Line a fun and colourful corner of the internet! N x HAPPY PRIDE Y’ALL!
