COMMUNITY
DAISY
Noun /daz-e/
Daisies have long symbolized loyalty and joy, representing the unbreakable bonds that form within the queer community. Their simple beauty reminds us that true connection and acceptance begin with openness and authenticity. Like daisies growing together in a field, our community thrives through mutual support, celebrating each individual’s uniqueness while standing strong in unity. Today, daisies serve as a vibrant symbol of the collective strength and enduring joy that come from being seen and supported for who we truly are.
