Day 4: Polysexual Pride
Within moments of hearing that the new day of pride was about to begin, tons of cats flood the area which was usually used. The stage is empty for the time being; Gaystripe and his crew did not arrive yet. A couple of cats were carrying large flags that had pink at the top, green in the middle, and blue at the bottom.
They began to bring up a cheer, one of no words, but it didn't really need words. Eventually, and with a leap and a skip, Gaystripe springs up onto the stage. He points to the flag and graphic that had been placed on the wall, and he jumps up and down.
Gaystripe: Once again, welcome back to 30 Days of Pride, with me, Gaystripe, the one, the only, your host. Today's day of pride, which is the... *he pauses, counting on his paws* fourth day, is about polysexuality!
The group of cats with flags wave them excitedly in the air, whacking a few others in the head, who grumble but smile at them.
Gaystripe: Polysexuality can sometimes be hard to understand because it's not that common. Even so uncommon that there aren't any QueerClan characters with it! *he crosses his forelegs, staring into the camera*
The crowd murmurs in concern.
Random Brown Tabby: Who is gonna help Gaystripe??
Random Silver Spotted She-Cat: I came here to learn, not to learn about how there are no polysexual characters in QueerClan!
Brown Tabby: Well I'm not polysexual. I can't help!
The crowd grows louder and louder and Gaystripe wildly waves his paws in the air.
Gaystripe: Hush! There are polysexual cats in this crowd, I know it. So shut up and let them come forward?
Everyone, as requested, shuts up. Nobody speaks at all, and you could probably hear a pin drop. You actually could, because someone behind the stage did so. A curse sounds from the back and Gaystripe ducks back to check on things.
As he was absent, a cat carefully rises from the crowd. The group of cats begins to murmur.
Cat: Shhhh!
The crowd goes silent, and the cat begins to explain what's going on, though quietly.
Cat: So, basically, I'm polysexual. But Gaystripe would make a huge deal out of it, and I kind of just want to help out 'cuz my friends over there- *they point at a group of cats near the back who have quickly lowered their polysexual flags in fear of being looked at* - made me.
The group of cats nods in understanding, and they bring up a small cheer for them.
Cat: So, basically, I'm here to tell you all about polysexuality-
Before they can continue, Gaystripe rushes out, his pelt stained with all sorts of colors.
Gaystripe: Sorry. Someone dropped something and then, well, all the dye for the flags got all messed up. Anyways! Back to... *he turns and looks pointedly at the cat* can someone explain?
Cat: Hi! I'm here to help you. But first I gotta do this cool trick I learned from my friends.
Gaystripe and the rest of the cats watch in confusion as they take out a small gray whistle. They blow into it and then instantly, a rush of cats spring up, heading onstage. Within moments, the cat is surrounded by a whirling group of multi-colored cats.
And then, after a few moments more, the cats all step away.
The crowd gasps in surprise. Their pelt is dyed the colors of the polysexual flag, though it is up and down instead of across. They wave their tail happily as they look back over to Gaystripe.
Gaystripe: Well nice to meet you! First I'm gonna need a name.
Jollypoly: My name's Jollypoly. I know Polyholly's in QueerClan, but that's not the same thing. Anyways! *they whisk their paw in the air* Polysexuality is super, super cool. Though unfortunately, it is often confused with pansexuality because of their closeness.
Gaystripe: Exactly! Polysexuality is the attraction to multiple, but not all, genders.
Jollypoly: Because we're often skipped over, it's common we're left out or combined with pansexuality or something else similar. But we're still here and we are still part of LGBTQ, isn't that right?
The crowd cheers loudly, jumping up and down. Each and every cat seems to be waving a little polysexual flag, and Jollypoly sends an approving look at a black-furred tom on the side who had given them out.
Then, a cat from the back of the stage creeps out, tail waving in hello.
Sunpaw: Hi, I'm Sunpaw!
Gaystripe: Oh hi Sunpaw! Everyone, say hello to Sunpaw. He's from Bound, and he's polysexual, too!
Jollypoly: Nice to meet you! Say hello, everyone!
Audience: Hi Sunpaw!!
Sunpaw: Anyways, what were you guys saying?
Jollypoly: If you ever meet someone who is polysexual, you should always support them. We may not be the most numbered of the identities, though I know I am- *they wink* - but we are strong and we are cool!
Sunpaw: True!! We are cool!
Jollypoly: Once again, I'm gonna have to say cheers to anyone on QueerWarriors currently, or anyone previously on QueerWarriors, that is or was polysexual. Once again, we are super, super cool! *they do a twirl, showing off their colorful pelt*
Gaystripe: That's right!
Sunpaw: Yes it is! *twirls alongside Jollypolly, and he throws a polysexual flag into the crowd*
After a moment of pause, the three cats high-five, and with that, the curtains close, and immediately, the crowd goes wild.
