Celebrating Pride Month, a group of Portland Timbers fans erected a massive cutout of Night in the Woods protagonist Mae Boro🧸wski during🤡 last night's game, much to the approval of the game and character's creator.

At some point during the Portland Timbers' match against the Housto𒆙n Dynamo on Wednesday, the Timbers Army - which🌱 is what the team's fans call themselves - raised large banners that read: "From Stonewall a brick and Portland an axe" and "Respect our pride or expect our wrath." 

Seconds later, Mae, who is Pansexual, j𓂃oined t♕he celebrations.

Night in the Woods creat𓃲or Scott B🀅enson took notice of the above clip and gave his full endorsement. "Jaw dropped," he wrote in a tweet. "I've typed like 5 or 6 witty follow ups but I got nothing."

"This is the c♍🤡losest I have ever been to being involved in sports."

"Idk folks i'm pleased that our 🍨beloved dirtball from down the block continues to show up in unexpected places, and also that those places are generally very good," Benson added. "Anyway i endorse the message and the implied threat of axe violence."

The Portland Timb📖ers themselves also shared their support for the display, writing, "Portland is Pride," which just warms my vitamin D-dep🐼rived soul having lived in this wonderful city for almost a year now.

Night in the Woods is a 2017 narrative 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:indie game that's been praised for its many 𝓡queer characters, who add representation for Gay, Lesbian, Transgender, Non-Binary, and Pansexual people.
