I missed Helsinki Pride because of a family reunion. // My big brother was supposed to be there too but he had a bicycle accident. / I was sort of disappointed because I haven't seen him in a couple of years. // The fifty to sixty Niva's will suffice. / Hi Niko! Remember me? / Fuck no!
I don't understand why Pride has to be so loud and flamboyant. Wouldn't gays and tr***ies be taken more seriously if they behaved like normal people? Real homosexuality isn't that in-your-face, blah blah blah... / OH MY GOD. // Pride PARADE is supposed to be funny! Pride week and month, on the other hand, are chock full of "serious" information. / (Anal sex 101, Tove Jansson exhibition, Comics workshop, Living Library, HIV-checkpoint, Trans group...) // The main parade is a place of happiness! We have a right to exhibit mirth in public! Every parade has scantily clad folks! Helsinki Samba Festival? Mardi Gras? Si? // If the straights' respect towards LGBT people (or yours, dear author) relies on us conforming to your norms... / (Dresses according to gender norm, doesn't take up any space at all, not a single word of their spouses, sits down and shuts up forever. Dysphoria? What's that? Everything is a-fucking-okay!) // ...I've for news for you: You're still a homophobic P.O.S.! / Oooh! A dude wears makeup because it's a fun thing to do! Escándalo!
*Jaa, skanneri söi ohuemmat tussit ja piirtopöytäkin kärhämöi viimeisessä ruudussa. Hauskalla meikkaamisella tarkoitan sitä, että meikkaamisen harrastaminen on voimauttavaa ja mukavaa, en sitä että meikkaava poika olisi automaattisesti hassu ja naurettava.
