Actually not annoying at all! The gay pride festival was in DC all last week and I went yesterday. It was AWESOME!
Here's a fun little fact: all of them are feminists.
Here's a few reasons why:
you can't be a feminist and not have to fight against all the other isms. Racism, heterosexism, ect. So it stands to reason that those who fight against heterosexism are also fighting sexism, even if not directly.
Also, (and here's the what the hell moment of this entry) I hate when heterosexuals ask a homosexual couple "who's the man and who's the woman in this relationship." I mean duh. It's ALWAYS obvious. Ok so if you're asking two men in a relationship it's immediately clear THEY'RE BOTH MEN. Expected gender roles (which is what is really being asked) are really detrimental to the fight. It's what makes us assume that a mother will stay home with her children while a father will go out and work 40 hours a week. It's ridiculous because that's obviously not the case in every family and we shouldn't teach our children that's the only way a proper family works.
Thats all for now. But everyone should go next year cause it's brilliant!
