Gays, theys, and other queer love-lays, it’s time to SERVE.
Being a part of the LGBTQIA+ community means that for better or worse, we always turn up, turn out, and are ready to serve. Whether that ‘serve’ is pushing for LGBTQIA+ progress, breaking down queer stigma, or just sashaying around town as our authentic queer selves, you can bet that the LGBTQIA+ community are here to slay, stay and of course, SERVE.
As proud partners of Mardi Gras, the inclusive bunch over at Johnnie Walker understand the energy that it takes to make every moment count, which is why they’re supplying us with a season specific cocktail recipe to ensure that when we’re taking a break from fighting the good fight, we’ve got a boujee alcoholic beveragino to cheers to!
…Because, alike Johnnie Walker, no matter how often we as an LGBTQIA+ community get knocked back, used as political pawns, or forced to fight for our seat at the table, we’ll always
keep walking proudly.
