Event: Rainbow Gala Who: Open to EVERYONE! What: Rainbow Tie Gala When: (BACKDATED) June 1st, Evening Where: Presidential Mansion
The Island of Sanctuary was unique in the world for many reasons. Not least among them was the fact that they had been founded on the idea of equality. True equality. It mattered not what religion, race, creed, powered status, origin or sexuality you had. All that mattered was that a citizen followed the laws of the land and paid taxes. Still, after the first anniversary of the founding of Sanctuary, it became clear that certain traditions from other countries needed to be followed. Pride included.
The morning had seen a very official raising of the most updated pride flag. Prominent heroes were asked to speak on their experience. They had a moment of silence for those in the world who still lacked the rights that Sanctuary citizens did. It ended with a prayer from the High Priestess of the Seventh Circle.
The party in the evening was, technically, a large affair that brought out celebrities, heroes, politicians and socialites. However, as always, there had been a lottery to invite the Isle citizens with an all expenses paid invite plus a guest. Not that there weren't the odd party crasher, but the intent was there to keep the crowd lower and security tight. However, for anyone bold enough to try to break into the event, President Bannon always had the telepaths on his team check them quick and allow them in so long as they weren't dangerous or troublemakers. His opinion on fortune favoring the bold clearly showing.
The entire mansion was decked out in mainly black but was tastefully accented with multicolors. There was a 'rainbow' carpet instead of red. Dinner would be a multicourse affair before the dance floor would be opened up with the famous band The Remedy playing.
