"Hey, hey! Look over here! I got in some more stuff for you to buy! but this time, I'm only taking mochi, because those are so, so tasty..."
The final round's currency is the Pride Mochi Packet! You can use these items to trade in for Event Shop content, or you can save them until after the event and open them into little Mochis (collectibles). Your choice!
This round, you can get a trunk of many different colored wings to celebrate your favorite identity.
There's also a box of sparkles that'll give you lots of sparkly backgrounds for your HA!
There's a lot of great items in the shop this time, so why not go take a peek?
Be sure to check out all the great pets - and some of them have very educational descriptions that you can check out in the Aywapedia.
Were you bummed to only have two Pride Candles? The Pride Candle is hanging out in the USD Shop for $5.00 so you can collect any other Teos you happen to desire. It'll leave the shop on the 1st, so act fast if you want one.
Who's excited for the 30th, the finale of the event? Get ready to open sticker packets and mochi boxes, and some other cool stuff for the final part of Pride Month!

Cene (#45300) Unfortunately, Sany was wrong, no countries are homophobia free- she was hiding her internalized bigotry behind "Supportive" surface words, Belgium has such a big problem with just that that when they did a national study in 2014 they found that while they are one of THE most accepting on paper, they are nearly as homophobic, transphobic and sexist as they were in 1978.
So she was proving her government's findings that surface acceptance still covers a festering and unaddressed well of harmful stereotypes and steep social imbalances and prejudices.
So their government is trying to actively and proactively address the harmful undercurrent prevalent in their population.
At this point, no place on earth is 100% trans safe. BUT some individual neighborhoods, in almost every country, can be mostly safe.

Katje (#59643) America but I have a ton of friends from all over the EU, my Romanian friend has wound up just planning to marry into a better and friendlier area, since where she lives is so toxic.
No country I've had Queer friendsfrom and had them talk about their personal experiences has been without some level of homo or trans phobia. And even the most friendly countries have some tensions on the ground- no matter how advanced the government, the process of educating and guiding the common lay-person to being not just tolerant but supportive is a long term process.
Many countries have gotten much much better, see America's recent Supreme Court win, but for every step forward there is social backlash, the pendulum swinging back, as it were.

Also of note is that sexism, racism and queer phobias often go hand in hand, where one still thrives, the other two begin to fester below the surface, being poisoned by sentiment fostered by the tensions of the one(s) that have fallen behind.
So even radically friendly on the surface countries that seem amazing for gender and queer friendliness have anti-Arabic and anti-Muslim sentiment breeds tensions, which breeds resentment, which fosters rhetoric which splashes back onto the most recent advances socially otherwise, etc.
As I said, small communities in most, legal to be queer countries, have good communities, no country is completely safe to be openly a minority of that country. No matter what the minority may be.
BUT it is very much getting better! In 50 years, we might actually see true equality beginning to come about.

Can we still buy the stuff that's currently in the event shop with pride mochi packets on the 30th? Or is today the last day for that?

This is borderline ridiculous. I've been searching around for close to three hours, and I've only found one Mochi Packet.
