Yesterday, my guy and me took the drive up to Amsterdam to visit my baby nephew Daniel. My sister in law reminded me of the fact that our visit would coincide with the Amsterdam Gay Pride Parade, and I was over the moon! We are huge supporters of equal rights and I'm annoyingly politically correct most of the time, so we were psyched to be part of the celebration. I dug out my pinkest, prettiest Gaga t-shirt, cut it into a tank top and revelled in the spirit of positivity, affirmation and acceptance.
T-top: Lady Gaga Monster Ball - friendship bracelets: Village Gallery Design - leggings, sandals: H&M - watch: c/o Swatch - sunglasses: ASOS
Best day ever. And everyone who says they don't mind gay people as long as they act like "normal people" without "drawing so much attention to themselves with all their parades": you are an ignorant homophobe, and you wouldn't consider their personality "out there" if you weren't so heteronormative. We are all different, and your choices of living aren't superior to those of others. Also, your beliefs that "gay is wrong" do not merit respect because they are moronic and they mess up other people's lives.
LOVE
Wish I could go with u!!
ReplyDeletenext time!
ReplyDeleteTerecht dat je bent gaan mee doen, ik zou hetzelfde doen :)
ReplyDeleteI was there too! I got rained on a couple of times though, did you?
ReplyDeleteyesssss it got pretty bad now and then! :D
ReplyDeleteMe too!! I was thinking about it this week but than I forgot about it again, I'd love to go to a gay pride parade! All the colors, I'd make some fab pictures <3 and maybe I'd go full rainbow on everybodies ass and dress up! Awesome nails and gaga shirt!
ReplyDeletesuper mooie foto's! leuk dat je in amsterdam was!
ReplyDeleteWow, mooie foto's! Ben twee keer geweest maar kon deze keer niet omdat ik moest werken, boo. En ik ben het 100% met je eens wat betreft je standpunten, en cool dat je er zo uitgesproken over bent op je blog!
ReplyDeleteI love what you did with your shirt! Could you explain how you did the back? :)
ReplyDeleteI've been to them in Vancouver and Madrid, both ridiculously fun (but Madrid wins by a hair for selling mojitos in buckets). I bet Amsterdam would be awesome!
ReplyDeleteI'll do a post on it if you want!
ReplyDeleteje past helemaal in het decor :) leuk!
ReplyDeleteDie laatste paragraaf, ZO HARD! Ik heb zoveel vriendinnen die homo's beoordelen op hun vermogen om zich "gewoon normaal" te gedragen. (en ik doe taal- en letterkunde en daar zitten sowieso superveel homo's) Ik word daar echt helemaal gek van en probeer ze dan ook echt uit te leggen hoe verkeerd dat wel niet is. En lesbiennes bestaan precies helemaal al niet in mijn sociale kringen. Equality, we zijn er helemaal nog niet en ik vind het jammer dat mijn generatie zo bekrompen is :/
ReplyDeleteEven een rant zoals je van mij gewoon bent, haha maar ik vind het zo jammer allemaal. :(
ReplyDeleteI would love to experience a parade like this someday.
ReplyDeleteEqual rights for all, biatches! I've had many fights with people around me, some of them even saying that if their son was gay, they would take him to a prostitute and leave him there until he is straight again. It's just disgusting and it saddens me so much, I can't even describe it.
My favorite quote is:
Homosexuality is found in over 450 species. Homophobia is found in only one. Which one seems unnatural now?

ik ben gek op rants en meningen. MOAR OPINIONS PLEASE. En ja, mensen zijn vaak zo ontzettend onwetend. Ze beseffen gewoon niet hoe homofoob ze zijn.
