#no cops at pride just the batkids with tasers

Playing GK, and I'm doing a "collectibles" run through Gotham tonight and went hunting for the street art in the West End.

(Sorry for the potato quality; I had to lighten the camera to make it visible in screenshots. Also, image IDs are in alt.)

I was surprised when the descriptor "Born This Way" popped up when I added it to my collection, along with a description of the piece being commissioned for Gotham Pride.

"Aw, that's nice." I thought. A nice little bit of world-building that ties in nicely with Tim coming out as bi and Dick offering to go to Pride with him.

So, anyway, art collected, I hopped back on my bike, took off down the street, and then reversed at full speed because I realized I'd just driven over a rainbow crosswalk.

"Aw, cool! That's a nice little touch. Wait a minute... is that an Irish gay bar?"

"It is! It's a gay Irish bar! Huh... I wonder what else is around here."

So I get off the bike, turn a corner, and start counting the rainbow Pride flags hanging over fire escapes and windows.

"Wait... does Gotham have a Gay Village?"

"Holy shit, they gave Gotham a Gay Village!"

"Wait, what does that sign say under the Pride flag... "The Quiet Escape Bookstore"... GAY BOOKSTORE GAY BOOKSTORE GAY BOOKSTORE GAY BOOKSTORE!!!"

So anyway, yeah. I have 154 hours in this game and only just now found Gotham's LGBT district.

I think I may have just taken one of my favorite screenshots in Gotham Knights.

Image ID: a screenshot of Tim Drake, Red Robin, standing in front of an illuminated signpost on the streets of Gotham. He is bracing his bo staff behind his shoulders, his hands thrown up in a jaunty manner. Due to the nature of the lighting, his shadow is thrown across the signpost.

The signpost reads, "Welcome To The West End, Where Everbody Matters." It is adorned with a rainbow spiral, indicating that this is Gotham's LGBTQ+ district.

All I need now is three more people so I can recreate this photo with the whole Batfam. Gotham Pride, baby 🌈🦇
