Hey, y’all! My month of #pride reading continues!

Rockstar and Softboy, gay BFFs, are planning to throw the party of all parties, basically because Rockstar thinks Softboy needs to get laid. What ensues is a wild, pop culture-filled escapade involving zombies and vampires and fairies (oh my!), a sorcerer, the unintentional summoning of the mythical Party Beast, gay bestie superpowers, and a transmogrifying cat with all the sass. It’s fun, goofy, laugh out loud funny, and a perfect read for #pridemonth.

What I enjoyed the most in ROCKSTAR AND SOFTBOY, tho, was @sinagrace’s portrayal of Rockstar and Softboy’s friendship; they are totally in love with each other, but in a completely platonic way, and that’s ok. I think as a community, many queers have these types of friendships where you can’t imagine your life without that one particular person (or even a group of people, if you’re lucky to have found your tribe) who knows more about you than you probably do yourself (I know I do!). These people can be just as important, if not more so sometimes, than an actual romantic partner. This type of friendship is not always portrayed in many forms of media, and it’s refreshing to see Grace taking a pointed stance on showing this type of friendship and the importance behind it.
