As we were walking down Church St. we saw this advertisment for Botox Cosmetics.
That's right. At Pride.
Hey! Let's perpetuate the stereotype that all gay men are obessed with youthful looks, including washboard abs and wrinkle free faces. Ugh.
While we're at it let's also keep up the façade of lesbians who are more concerned with softball and sport bras.
Double ugh.
I'm really quite sick of the stereotypes tha we put the GLBTTQ2 community into constantly. It seems that we (collective society) are more comfortable with our gay men effeminate and weak and our gay women butch and straight forward. Anything in between and we don't know what to think. And let's not even get into what we expect people who are bisexual are "supposed" to be like.
Live and let live, people.
