Making Things Uncomfortable
 

I try to do something that addresses Queerhood every June,  and usually do something rainbow flag related, but this year I went in a different direction. I wanted to convey just how monstrous people can become when they let the fear and hatred of our kind become part of their lives. The couple's shoulders and pant waists meeting creates the impression of a heart (hokey, but whatever) and the "others" are all strapped/laced/buttoned down with their own self-imposed restraints from just enjoying life. There's a boatload of  fun details. Enjoy and wherever you are, make your own pride celebration. Get out and disturb some Thing.
