We love the diversity of the world here at TLP as an organization and as chapters within the games we play. On Friday June 27th, we will show our support during our annual PRIDE PARADE through the heart of The War Within main zones, starting in Dornogal proper at 8 PM Pacific (9 PM Mountain, 10 PM Central, 11 PM Eastern).
With our best, most colorful outfits and GROUND mounts, we will make our way on foot (with the exception of of the drop from Dornogal into Ringing Deeps) through to the main city in Ringing Deeps, Gundargaz. From there we take the train tracks over into Hallowfall — where we will visit the great city of Mereldar before taking flight to the Priory of the Sacred Flame to clear out all the heretics & hoping on to the Dawnbreaker for a quick 15 minute trivia. From Hallowfall, we head on to the depths of Azj-Kahet, home of the Nerubians — where we will either stop at the Weaver’s Lair city or if we have a much bigger audience head towards the great arena in the City of Threads (near Zekvir’s old lair) for group photos!
There we will be hold a BEST TRANSMOG/MOUNT CONTEST where our judges will decide who wins the top prize (1), runner up (2), and second runner up (3). We are looking for originality, creativity, a blend of the rainbow’s best colors, matching weapons/shields, andddddddd a matching MOUNT to go with it! First prize will be 600,000 gold in game, second prize will be 300,000 gold in game, and third prize will be 100,000 gold in game.
This year we have partnered up with the NOH8 CAMPAIGN to raise a bit of money to help those in this community find peace, equality, and acceptance. If you can donate anything you can spare, you can do so through Tiltify (directly goes to NOH8) by clicking below.
ABOUT NOH8 CAMPAIGN
MISSION STATEMENT: The NOH8 Campaign is a charitable organization whose mission is to promote marriage, gender and human equality through education, advocacy, social media, and visual protest.
On November 4, 2008 Proposition 8 passed in California, amending the state Constitution to ban same-sex marriage. The defeat provoked a groundswell of initiative within the GLBT community at a grassroots level, with many new political and protest organizations being formed in response.
The NOH8 Campaign is a photographic silent protest created by celebrity photographer Adam Bouska and partner Jeff Parshley in direct response to the passage of Proposition 8. Photos feature subjects with duct tape over their mouths, symbolizing their voices being silenced by Prop 8 and similar legislation around the world, with “NOH8” painted on one cheek in protest.
Nine years since its inception, the NOH8 Campaign has grown to over 56,000 faces and continues to grow at an exponential rate. The campaign began with portraits of everyday Californians from all walks of life and soon rose to include politicians, military personnel, newlyweds, law enforcement, artists, celebrities, and many more from across the globe.
While inspired by the passage of Prop 8 and the fight for marriage equality, the scope of the NOH8 Campaign has grown to stand against discrimination and bullying of all kinds. The message of ‘No Hate’ can be interpreted and applied broadly, and everyone can relate to the message of NOH8 in their own way.
The NOH8 Campaign has received overwhelming support from around the world, and has appeared in various local and national news programs and publications. The images are widely used on various social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to proudly show support for equal rights.
To date, NOH8 Campaign has hosted official photo shoots in 48 of the 50 United States (plus D.C.) and 20 countries around the world. While our work continues here in the US, we must not forget that there are still places around the world where simply being who you are means living in fear for your life every single day. Our mission to promote love, acceptance and respect for all human beings will continue in pursuit of #NOH8Worldwide.
