The studio version is out! LMAO
I am a straight, cisgender man who happens to love dressing up like Disney princesses from time to time, and even when I was a little boy I always wanted to look pretty in Belle's ballroom dress from "Beauty and the Beast", but people told me I could not, because I was a boy and it was not "natural for a boy to dress like a girl". I was told that liking "girly" things was embarrassing and shameful, and that made me both sad and insecure.
This was in the 90s, in a small, narrow-minded town in the north of Norway and fortunately those times are long gone. But this mindset can still be found far too many places around the world. The whole idea that men who like "girly" clothes, hobbies and aesthetics are "weak" or "weird" is still the default in so called "progressive" areas and this toxicity based on prehistoric gender norms need to be challenged and fought against.
But my struggles with gender norms are nothing compared to those who are transgender, non-binary or identify as something completely different. And as a heterosexual man, I have never felt threatened or in danger because of my sexuality or identity. I am lucky to have felt this privilege.
Too many people throughout history have been, and are still, bullied, harassed, persecuted and murdered for their sexuality or gender identity. They are being shamed and ridiculed, even in the "civilized west" simply for being themselves.
As a straight cisgender man who loves to dress up in fabolous dresses, the only people who have ever harassed me because of this are straight cisgender men.
The LGBTQ+ community, however, have supported me, cheered me on, shown me love and kindness and have made me feel comfortable with being who I am, even when I cannot even begin to comprehend the struggles they have been through.
This speaks volumes about the community, how amazing these people are, no matter how much they have been tormented and persecuted, they still show love, inclusion and kindness.
Their rights should be my rights. It makes me sick to my stomach that my gay, bi, lesbian, aro, ace, genderfluid and transgender brothers, sisters and enbie/unicorn siblings are still nowhere near of feeling the same safety and privileges as I have.
This is why we celebrate pride. Not just for the celebration of this magnificent diversity, but to continue the fight for basic human decency where all and every human being are treated with the same respect and dignity.
No one is free until everyone is free.
LGBTQ+ rights are human rights.
Love, The Elf-Pirate 🏳️🌈❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

"Keep it hidden, out of sight from the greed of Fëanors sons, and far away from the eyes of the enemy. The Silmaril might get be our last hope. I will see you soon, my sweet Elwing, as hasty as the wings of Vingilot may carry me across the waves".
