La celebración comenzó como una respuesta de los estudiantes a un incidente de odio en el campus en los años 90 en el que los escalones de la Casa Wilson estaban marcados con comentarios homofóbicos para que todos los vieran. Décadas más tarde, Celebration 2021 contó con bailes cursis de Britney Spears con interludios de remixes de Macklemore y poesía hablada: había un sentido de orgullo no solo en lo queer en sí, sino también en la diversión de pertenecer a una comunidad queer. El brillo, el glamour, los atuendos: los estudiantes adoptaron esto como un medio para crear más diversión, más de esa alegría contagiosa que se extendió por todo el quad. La celebración usa la diversión como una especie de liberación, pero lo que es más, estamos pasando de lo clandestino a lo desvergonzado.
