To Ms. Rosendahl-Sunbrek,
The Valokchian Federation, would like to extend a handout and to bid for hosting this year's pride festival, which we would like to nominate the city of Skau, Kinzakas. Skau is a close-knit city with a population very welcoming to LGBT+ according to recent studies in Valokchia. The downtown is a place filled with shops including a large shopping mall located near the central business district.
Valokchia, since the rise of democracy in 1994, has legalized gay marriage and encouraged acceptance of same-sex relationships, and since then, the majority of the population has not minded the presence of same-sex marriages and relationships. Valokchia also has laws that prevent any hard discrimination against persons that have a non-heterosexual preference as well. Though verbal discrimination can be somewhat common in some regions such as the south coast and near the Lahkzovian border, they are usually very frowned upon outside of said regions.
The theme of Pride 2018 if it was to be hosted in Valokchia is the past and the past of what Valokchia had gone through in order to gain full LGBT rights along with the rest of Mundus. It will also reflect on the hardships of people who had same-sex relationships with others in the past when LGBT was a generally taboo and often illegal action. But, seeing from the past can let us learn from it, and learning from it, which we are now starting to do, can benefit the rest of Mundus as a whole if we all stick together to learn from our past mistakes and live with our current choices today.
Skau, a bay city, although a somewhat large port the pride parade if hosted in Valokchia will be focused on parade floats. With several large boulevards, people can create their own parade floats displaying LGBT friendly art along with music. But that will be the tip of the iceberg, the Skau convention center, the largest in square feet in all of Valokchia, will be host to all sorts of LGBT art, music, food, with the mixture of Valokchian culture in order to give the tourist and the resident attending a sense of atmosphere at the event. The Fairgrounds at Skau will also be used as a large venue for a music festival, a venue that can hold over 50,000 people that is located just outside of southern Skau.
The people of Valokchia, will feel a great sense of liberty if Pride 2018 is hosted in their nation as expressing the acceptance of LGBT in Valokchia on the international scale would make them perceive their fatherland as a state that is most free among many in Mundus.
Valokchia, if they were to host Pride 2018, will likely be a nation more accepted internationally as they hosted an event embracing and expressing human rights. And hosting and even nominating a city to be voted to host the event will show that our country aligns with LGBT+ countries...
