Gender, Sexuality and Kim Heechul

The Heechul part is the most unrelated part of this post~ But it happens to be his birthday today, so, Happy Birthday Heechul! <3 (from Super Junior) thank you for making me laugh and for filling me with happiness, thank you for being an inspiration, I hope you are okay whilst doing military service and return to the group soon! Have a great birthday Heenim~<3

To me, you are perfect

Now on to the actual point of this blog post, gender and sexuality. As seen from a previous entry of mine, this is pretty important on my list of important things.

Personally, I hate gender stereotypes, even from when we are born there are certain things that a girl is given and a boy is given, for example baby blue and baby pink clothes, toys and balloons, right from the word go. Why is it this way? That baby may even come to hate those colours. The gender of the baby isn't all that important, the fact you have a new life is. (The fact I happen to love pink doesn't matter, I used to hate it :3) 

And still growing up, there are things that are put with males and females that seem to stick, like the clothes we wear and the interests we apparently have. It bugs me when I go to a shop to get Nintendo magazine and it is in the Men's Interests section, wtf? I am not a man, yet I adore video games.

Ever watched kids adverts? They are so narrow they make pigs fly.

At school age (I can't talk about anything above that since I hardly am myself), it is okay for girls to act like a guy, or, tomboy. But if a boy would act like a girl, he is made fun of, pushed to the bottom of the pile of everything. Now how is that fair? Are females a bad thing to be? Really? No they aren't, so explain your stupid action human race.

People should be able to act and dress however they like without the boundries of gender stereotypes getting in the way, anyone should be able to wear skirts or shirts or whatever. (Heechul looks so hot in a skirt.) 

I think there should be a legally recognised middle gender pronouns, yes they exist, but they are not recognised by the government, or if not this- boundries should be destroyed, no more pigeon holing people into certain ways, it sucks.

I own clothes I bought in the womens section, and some from the mens for cosplay, I don't care, I like all my clothes. I really hope the future would hurry up so old fashioned ways will vanish.

Personally, the boundries don't bother me (*prepares for wtf was the point of this post reactions*) I act in whatever way makes me happiest. But other people out there probably hate these boundries, because its limiting and unequal and unfair.

I used to belong to a youth LGBT website, and there I saw a lot of people running into problems because of their gender views or preferences, which brings me nicely to my next point, about sexuality.

I am a proud supporter of the LGBT community and of course of straight people- oh wait, why did I write those 2 things seperately? Aren't they all sexualities?

This obvious divide is so irritating. In todays society, most people are accepting of those who are not straight, even if they don't say so, so why are we all still spliting straight people and LGBT people apart? Also, where is Straight Pride? Are there any gatherings that can include straight people?

Don't get me wrong I had a lot of fun at London Pride, it was brilliant, but I am disapointed that there is no straight support, or any big reveal straight people can do.

A straight person: I have an announcement....I- AM STRAIGHT. *dramatic reveal*

Or maybe they doesn't need to be an announcement for anyone.

There is a line that needs to be deleted.

We should just all be together, no matter what sexuality you are, what gender you are or what ice cream flavour you prefer.

Screw stereotypes and divides of things, being together is the new segregation~

Even though this post was pretty complainy, I am perfectly happy in my world, this was more of a I am not the only person with opinions on this earth type of awareness post.

And to prove my happy, here is a happy picture :)

Current reasons why I am happy:
- I got to go to the Warner Bros. Harry Potter Studio Tour again, it was so much fun!
- I saw the Olypmic Torch pass through my town, even if it was only a little
- I saw my cousin over the weekend, which was a suprise ^ ^
- I bought new foundation today~
- I wrote a ASDF Movie quote on an iPhone in the Vodaphone store and left it there
- NU'EST released an amazing new MV today. Ren, I adore you. (the lyrics are so meaningful too, makes you feel full of power and ready to take on the world. The world is mine. It's about being different and being THE BEST, and shining at being different instead of a copy like so many people...I could write so much about my love for this song. ACTION.)

Happy flowers and rainbows everyone!
