  1. I’m here, I’m queer, and I actually caught a Pinsir while reading this article

  2. Team Instinct Member here-I bought a Pikachu hat from Target and my hair is very short and I walk around in shorts with unshaved legs. If that doesn’t scream GAY AS FUCK AND I LOVE POKEMON idk what does.

    • Something with Pride rainbows, or a t-shirt with interlocked Venus symbols.
