Overview

The creator bursts into a backstage hallway to excitedly announce a Queerty award win to a group of people. The group responds deadpan that the creator no longer works there and the locks were changed. Completely ignoring the reality check, the creator screams in celebration anyway, prompting the group to break character and cheer along as a 'LOVE IS LOVE' graphic appears.
