RLSM has now added 100 extra security cameras around campus and designated the last day of this and every academic year as LGBT+ Day. The day provides a party for any member of sexual minorities as well as a coming out party and becomes the day that the Gay Fraternity and Lesbian Sorority were officially instituted.
Prospective new students are invited to experience the friendly atmosphere of the Royal London School of Music. There is an information stand for the new fraternity and sorority with LGBT+ Pride leaflets, staffed by the students of each steering committee to answer questions. Members of RLSM security will be nearby in case any homophobes try make themselves evident by words and/or action.
Mum, Hazel's & Lily's parents have colluded and bought each of us the identical outfit for our coming out today. The sleeveless dress is based on the horizontal stripes of the lesbian pride flag. The colours are 'going down': 1. Cerise shoulder straps; 2. Candy Floss; 3. White; 4. Shocking Pink waist; 5. Violet skirt displaying a hem circled with baby pink hearts. They have also bought each of us a 'Pink Ladies' hoodie (just like those worn in the movie Grease) and a rose gold necklace featuring a pendant of two intertwined female symbols (a circle with a cross at the bottom).
After a shower and breakfast, we go back up to our room, fix our femme makeup, put on our lesbian necklaces and get dressed in our new outfits. When we're happy with our Barbie look, we go downstairs for Mum to take a range of photos of us in our outfits and when she & Susan emerges from of her room, they are both wearing the same outfit as us. When we've recovered from fits of laughter we exchange hugs and locking the front door, make our way to campus declaring step by step by our appearance that we are lesbians... and proud of it!
Susan shows us the two stands in a prominent position near the main entrance. One stand proudly bears a sign, above head height and written in big bold pink letters: "Lesbian Sorority". The stand next to it also proudly bears a sign, above head height and written in big bold orange letters: "Gay Fraternity". Between the two stands is a large sign, also prominently above head height that reads: "Harassment of Sexual Minorities will result in Expulsion" which we are delighted to see. Susan tells us that harassment may also involve an introduction to the police, but there wasn't enough room on the sign! We all giggle, even though it's serious.
