"IM SCREAMING, happy pride month to us all!!!!!! Yaaaaaaassssssssss this is the best.”

"We'd talked on the phone a bit [prior to the trip], but this was the first time we saw each other in person and the true beginning of our friendship," Topps told the outlet.

"We realized that our friendship — being 'besties' who talked every single day — was turning into something more last fall, around August 2024, and we decided to explore it casually. But, by January of this year, we knew we needed to make it official," Topps continued.
