because i'm emo about fitfwt in the us and canada, and i won't make people read that long ass diary post i made, this is an excerpt (and more) i want to bring attention to:

eternal gratitude to emmu (@londonfoginacup) and sus (@lululawrence) for being driven by the same thing i felt: “where. is. the. damn. pride!” at the beginning of tour and starting the @rainbowmegamix and spreading it and being so generous.

i get teary eyed thinking about what we've accomplished, and my heart gets so full because... it felt like we really got back on track a bit, didn't we? the sense of safety and community that was so important in last year's tour was felt again. so thank you, thank you, thank you! it meant so much to me, to you and to so many people! thank you to the volunteers that were up for going around the venue giving out flags (addicting, eh?). thank you to the people that were willing to hide flag sticks in their clothing so they wouldn't be taken away by security at some venues. thank you to the people still waving their stick-less flags. thank you to the people that contributed and brought even more flags to distribute at the shows. thank you to staff at some venues being happy about seeing so much pride. mini thank you to the people also waving their flags during other songs outside of the megamix (when the gay spirit strikes, it does!).

there are so many new fans, and some of them aren't really paying attention to louis' music and are just there to see that guy from one direction they barely remember when they were 7 years old and maybe get a viral video for tiktok about a sign interaction. so... if this project, at every show, even made ONE (1) of those new fans wonder why there were so many pride flags, and maybe dig a little deeper and maybe get interested in who louis really is, watch some old interviews, listen to him, get to know him, see how he's changed over the years... then i'll count that as a win. and i hope everyone felt welcome and safe in that environment, regardless.

we said "bring rainbows back to louis' shows!", and... WE BROUGHT RAINBOWS BACK!

alright... united states and canada out. over to you, europe! 🌈💚
