    To those whining about this not being in NR, I'll be deleting those posts too as it's just aiming to drive the thread off topic. Quite frankly I don't consider it to be non related, it's a great opportunity for …

As it's officially June 1st in some areas of the world, it’s that time of year again where we are united by the celebration of love.

To all the LGBTQ+ players reading this, I wish you all a very exciting and glamorous June.
For those who are questioning or have to hide their identity out of safety,
I wish you a very safe and freeing June and that the fight to recognise love continues to triumph over hate.
You are always welcome in Torn regardless of where you are in your journey and know that a huge chunk of the player base supports you.



Feel free to discuss below your plans or just wish people a happy pride.

[background color=var(--bbc-body-bg-color)]Let us know:[/background]


  • Will you be attending any pride events or staying home and glitterbombing your opponents during ranked war?
  • Is your faction hosting anything? Like a racing competition where everyone has to drive a different colour car?
  • Perhaps even be ambitious enough to organise your display case by rainbow order? Or if you’re lazier, just colour co-ordinate the easter eggs and Xmas paper crowns?
  • Any fun stories from pride last year (In Torn or off Torn)? Share your stories below!
  • Have you changed your honour bar, or profile picture for the occasion?

As this is a general discussion forum, let's remember to be respectful here. This is a thread to celebrate and acknowledge the LGBTQ+ players who play this game alongside us.

In light of pride, I have reserved a place in this thread to celebrate the two biggest LGBTQ+ icons in Torn.
Sugarvalves could never dare to cover such a fabulous power couple but fret not, I am here to change that.

If you wish to be a part of the Gay Mafia this June, you may proudly display this on your forum or profile signature.

Happy Pride. Torn will as always continue to stand against discrimination, if people are just coming here to discriminate in a support thread (proving the point for why such things are still necessary!) I won't be going light on the ban hammer.

Love it or hate it, it's easy to simply not be a dick, nothing is being shoved in your face and we aren't going "woke" for the sake of corporate BS, we do genuinely wish to show our support.

It's sad how much discrimination we continue to see in all walks of life, and I hope people who feel unsafe can have a time where they feel noticed, recognised and told that they do matter without being made to feel like lesser humans by a vocal minority.

Happy pride, nothing major planned. I've got something but still need to put it together lol. I'll be joining in with the honor bar change though!

Happy pride. As for attending any events, I will not be. Although, Last year, out of pure coincidence I happened to be in Stockholm for the pride parade. It was a pretty awe inspiring, great energy, and atmosphere. I would recommend to go if you can, just don't try to get a tattoo while you are there every tattoo shop in the city was completely booked.

That sounds cool, do you have any pictures of what the stickers look like? Are their underbellies the colour of the flags or the entire frog?
