”I love that derby is always evolving and challenging itself to be better and more inclusive than before, and allowing us queers and folks of differing identities to define what that means for us. BAD is somewhere I can be myself, unapologetically queer, which feels more and more important these days.” —MissFists #138 @theberkeleyresistance #pride #GAAAAYAREAAAAA #🌈#20skateen #20gayteen #love #queer #unapologeticallyqueer

“BAD has taught me that Pride isn’t just a weekend, a month or a year but rather every day.

“How can you lose if you look through the prism of mad support, empowerment and acceptance of everybody—exactly as they are? You can’t. Roller Derby is so much more than just a sport.

“we love being a part of a group of bad ass, predominantly queer women”—Amy Avishay and April Bloodgate of @oaklandoutlaws and @bayareaderbyallstars #queereyesfullheartcantlose #bayareaderby #20skateteen #20gayteen #packisqueer

“When I joined Bay Area Derby, I was nervous about meeting new people and doing a sport I’d never done before. It was impossible to know if I’d be accepted, or make any friends, of if I’d even like playing roller derby. From the first day I put on skates, I’ve been surrounded by people who are excited to welcome beginners, modeling grit and tenacity and togetherness. BAD prioritizes teamwork and community, is relentlessly encouraging, and it’s a welcoming community I am proud to be a part of. And my butt looks better and gayer than ever” —Ears of the @oaklandoutlaws @blood.sweat.and.ears #pride #pridemonth #sf #pride2018 #bayareaderby #20skateteen #packisqueer #queereyesfullheartcantlose
