At Xenyria, we try to offer a community that values diversity and inclusivity. We take pride in celebrating the uniqueness of each individual, and June - Pride month - gives us an opportunity to honor and support the LGBTQIA+ community in a special way.

Pride Branding

To demonstrate our support, we have incorporated the colors of the Progress pride flag into our branding throughout the month of June. When you check out our Twitter or Discord during Pride Month, you'll see these vibrant colors woven into the fabric of our branding, symbolizing our support and representation for the LGBTQIA+ community.

Fundraiser

However, our commitment to making a positive impact goes beyond visuals. We want to contribute to the well-being of queer youth worldwide, who often face a lack of representation in mainstream media and struggle with support from their peers, families, and schools. That's why we have chosen to partner with The Trevor Project, a remarkable charity organization dedicated to helping queer youth, primarily in the United States.

During the entire month of June, we are running a fundraiser to support The Trevor Project. You can find the fundraiser link [here]. By donating through the external provider Tiltify, we ensure that all the funds go directly to the charity. As a token of our appreciation for your support, we will be offering different durations of the premium rank based on the amount donated. If you're interested in learning more about the fundraiser, please visit the [Fundraiser page].

Pride Balloons

In addition to the fundraiser, we also wanted to provide a way for our players to express their pride within the game itself. That's why we've introduced two new balloons that you can acquire using the /balloons command. These balloons will be a permanent addition to our server, but during the month of June, they are completely free for everyone to obtain.

The first balloon is the "Pride Balloon," a symbol of unity and support for the entire LGBTQIA+ community. By equipping this balloon, you can proudly display your solidarity with players from all walks of life, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

We also recognize the importance of showing specific support for individuals who identify within the Trans* umbrella. That's why we have introduced the "Trans Pride Balloon" as well. This balloon is designed to celebrate and uplift the Trans* community, offering a visible representation of support for these individuals within our server.

At Xenyria, we believe that everyone deserves to be celebrated for who they are, both inside and outside the game. We invite you to join us this Pride Month as we come together to create an inclusive and accepting community that celebrates diversity and empowers each and every player.

Remember, the journey to equality and acceptance is ongoing, and by standing together, we can make a difference! Happy Pride Month, everyone!
