A cartoon of an androgynous person with long green hair and a pink floral crop top sits on a green bench by a pond with their left leg crossed on their lap and holding their right hand aloft toward a pair of butterflies. Red header text in the sky reads "Support the Powderhorn Park Pride Bench Project". A subheader reads: "For the people, made possible by you! Donations enable us to purchase paint & supplies for maintaining and painting new benches". A red banner with white text is across the lower half of the person on the bench, it reads: "Venmo: @WrathAndEnby".

Sketches of benches painted in colorful stripes matching the color schemes of various pride flags are arranged on a white background in two columns of four. They are labeled with black handwriting from left to right, top to bottom: pansexual, bisexual, lesbian, gay, nonbinary, asexual, genderqueer, and genderfluid.

The background of the image is an illustration of bushes, flowers, and a tree surrounding the edge of a pond, with a red and blue butterfly flying by on the left edge. The top half of the image is a photograph of a person with glasses and short brown hair wearing a blue and green flannel shirt smiling at the camera and making a peace sign with fingers smudged with black paint. They are standing in front and to the side of a bench painted with the colors of the non-binary flag in stripes of yellow, white, and purple with a black frame. The lower left quadrant contains a picture of a bench painted to look like the trans pride flag with stripes of light blue, pink, and white. The bench is at the top of a hill overlooking trees and a lake. The lower right quadrant contains white text on a red background reading "Venmo: @WrathAndEnby. (paint brush emoji) for supplies or (dollar with wings emoji) to tip."

It started with a rainbow bench in need of a coat of paint and now we are up to 5 different pride benches around Powderhorn Park with 14 more planned.

The most common responses: "Thank you for making our community more beautiful" & "Thank you for representing people like me."
