Never fear, I’m CREATING a reason for you to wear your Trump gear in Public. Maybe you don’t have MAGA stuff, or are still slowly testing the conservative waters. No matter! You can splash around safely at the Antelope Valley Fair and Alfalfa Festival.
I came up with the idea after attending Trump rallies in Newport, Los Angeles, Santa Clarita, and watching my friends have picnic rallies, and overall gathering to show our support together. Being a gay male, I remember when there was a time when young gays (gaybies) who were not sure of themselves stayed in the designated “gay friendly” districts. To entice one another to exist in the world as a whole, we would attend and host “Guerrilla Bar” events that created a space for gaybies to enjoy in a new environment. We’ve all been in an uncomfortable room and one where we feel at home.
My goal is to create a space where the reluctant Trump supporter goes to feel that they’re not alone. I will proudly wear my red hat, my NRA shirt and shout my President’s accomplishments wherever I go, but others may not be so courageous. They haven’t told their families because of what others will say, or do. Some people have a job that prevents them from endorsing a candidate at all to maintain a sense of neutrality yet they vote every single cycle. We shouldn’t shun those patriots, we should invite them to share something as celebratory as a yearly harvest festival with us.
The Antelope Valley Fair will be celebrating 80 years of celebrations and the 24th will be hosting the Rural Olympics in the Grandstand. No additional ticket will be needed and the last vestige of Los Angeles Agriculture should be a hoot!! I will be at the AVRA booth from 8pm to Midnight and wandering the grounds with everyone before. No, I won’t be in stilettos, at the fair we wear cowboy hats and boots!
