Claiming to be “long-term” committed to the LGBTQ+ community, Ford recalls that the “Very Gay Raptor” emerged last year (cheep above), as a virtual weapon in response to a negative comment on social networks. This led the American builder to take its most robust model and cross-dress it.. The “tough” and very radical look was colored in with the Raptor’s gloss gold body paint and rainbow graphics. The end result was an out-of-the-box Ranger to support those who want to “come out” Or they already have.
“The receptivity online to this proposal was absolutely positive and overwhelming”, underlines Ford, and then explains that it was this reaction that led her to decide to “translate the model into reality”. Thus the “Very Gay Raptor” was born, which began to be used as “a tool in the fight against discrimination”.

Gareth Thomas, from the “Very Gay Raptor” platform, will lead the so-called “Tough Talks” in live and color sessions, full of color guaranteed.
