They are wearing a faded black AIDS walk cap, red-rimmed tinted glasses, purple hoodie, and black camera strap reading "funcrunch" in red letters. They are standing next to a pole decorated in white, pink, and blue stripes. A person with bright pink hair is visible in the background. Photo CC BY-SA 4.0.
