Happy Pride Month, everyone!

At the culmination of Pride Month, the Ministry of Culture has planned a week-long festival to celebrate TSP's LGBTQ+ community and its many allies! From 24th to the 30th of June, we will be hosting events, competitions and encouraging the celebration of Pride throughout the duration of the festival. Come join us in a week of fun and diversity!

List of events and when they will happen.

These events will both be happening in our main discord server and the RMB. So it's best to be there too!
