Here is the thing I can’t stop thinking about with what’s happened here in Minnesota over the course of the past week: the display of support in the Twin Cities was staggering.  The level of f*cks not given to those who might be offended by this acknowledgement of equal rights under the law was amazing.

But mostly, mostly.  I think about a queer kid, riding in the back of her parents’ car seeing the city lit up like this.  Maybe she hasn’t come out yet, maybe she’s been bullied, at home, at school, for being who she is.  I can only imagine what seeing this would mean.  And then I get teary and proud all over again.  

Way to go, Minnesota.  Who’s next?

My hometown!!!

There needs to be so much more support for boys/men. So much focus is on girls/women’s body issues and stereotypes - while there is very little support shown for the males who suffer just as much as us females. There needs to be more acceptance, of everyone. We are all important. 

Males suffer from eating disorders. low self esteem and judgement issues just as much as women. We need to bring this issue to light - we need to support each other. We need to change. 

I’ve definitely never thought about this before, and actually I’m kind of ashamed that I haven’t. It’s so true, and something that gets massively overlooked. My brother used to get made fun of because he’s just naturally skinny and not as broad as all of his friends. I don’t know if it still happens, but I do know that if it ever happened to me, I’d be so upset. MASSIVE SUPPORT FOR THIS POST. REBLOG.
