June 4, 2021 by Dani Wolfegang-James Leave a Comment

Text reads "Pride 2021 / at SGS LRC". Background is rainbow bookshelves. Front centre is an animation of an open book with a rainbow spilling up from the pages. Lower left corner is a hand choosing a rainbow book from a shelf of grey books. Lower right is a pink moon with a rainbow flag planted in it. Behind the text is a curving rainbow made of books. Centre behind the text are two crossed over, upside down rainbow flags, which sort of resemble angel wings behind the "E" in Pride.
