Y'all don't know this, but I'm from San Diego, CA. Today, we had our Gay Pride parade and festival. Personally, I love the whole thing, but mostly I love the weeks that lead up to the parade. I live in a gay neighborhood, but most of the year the comfort level in my neighborhood is only marginally better than in the rest of the city. During the weeks before and on Gay Pride day, I feel alive and normal in a way that I don't the rest of the year.
What do I mean, you ask? I mean that during this time, I can do simple things others take for granted. While standing on a busy street corner, I can lean over and chastely kiss my partner on the lips and hear a sigh or a "How sweet," instead of shocked gasps or rude comments. It's nice to just hold my partner's hand in public without worrying if some jerk is going to make an issue out of it.
What am I getting at? Well, I would like to issue a challenge:
Using fandom or original characters, write a story that explores how your characters respond to attending a Gay Pride Parade or Festival.
Feel free to include the weeks leading up to Gay Pride. Feel free to include whatever you want. As possible themes, may I suggest:
1) Your character has just come out of the closet and this is the first Gay Pride they are attending;
2) Your character uses the approaching Gay Pride festivities to come out to friends, family, etc.;
3) Something similar to my experience I described above; or
4) Your character goes to Gay Pride and hooks up with some delicious bit while he/she's there.
For those who have never been, any gay parade outside of San Francisco is going to conjure images similar to those of any small local parade such as, a few uncomplicated floats, a couple marching bands, several local politicians all wearing fake smiles, people carrying banners that represent groups, associations or local businesses and, at least, one motorcycle club.
There are a few things seen at Gay Pride that are not seen at most local parades such as, an awesome amount of rainbows, men and women decked out in S&M leather, drag queens and young men dancing either on a float or on the street wearing only a thong or other form of small brief.
The atmosphere at Gay Pride is one of acceptance. The mood is light. Everybody's smiling and laughing. You see a lot of couples holding hands or with their arms around each other. You see a lot of alternative relationships like threesomes or dom/sub plays. In recent years, you see a lot more families - Two men or two women with kids.

For whatever reason the author can came up with somehow Tonks ends up at SGC. While at SGC Major Sam Carter finds Tonks going through a magazine such as Playboy or Sport Illustrated - Swimsuit Issue. Tonks then explain how she's studying the photo so she can make she changes more real.
Sam of course asks for a demo, so Tonks changes into one of the woman in the magazine including the skimpy swimsuit she's modeling.
Being the scientist that she is Sam ask her if she can become male and of course Tonks is more than willing to show off her ability. So she changes in to General Hammond in the same skimpy swimsuit just as (insert a character, I was thing General Hammond or anyone else works too) walks in.
Options:
If it's General Hammond who walks in he will think up some uses for Tonks' ability to prank a certain Colonel.
