It truly was. It was wonderful getting to celebrate Pride in oneself with my friend, too. He is very dear to me and I loved that there was this whole welcoming community. We never really had anything like that back on Altea, which is the planet that I'm from. I'm absolutely loving all of these new Earth experiences.
I've only discovered milk recently. We never really had anything like it where I was from. Though I admit, finding out the source of what it came from was a little shocking to me, at first. But I do highly recommend ice cream. And cheese, as well.
I'm sorry you had to go through that. I'm glad you have people here from your world, too.
