Its important for the ego to let it all hang out so to speak after keeping it all in for so long. Im here im queer get use to it isnt a rub it in your face thing its an afermation of the right to be who you are in a society that doesnt want you to be anything but the status quo. In america we stress individuality but when that is put to the test we are shown that individuality is fine as long as it falls into a few basic categories. If one out of ten people were straight with teh remaining population gay there would be straight pride parads for in these parads we find a community we didnt know exsisted full of multifacited people who lead normal to exotic lives who are all there to say hey we support you we need to stick together."
So, now that I've thought of a better analogy - maybe you fucking people will understand what I'm saying. If 1 out of 10 girls are ashamed about their breasts - and they decide that they want to live their life under wraps and wear t-shirts all the time, and stuff their bra to hide it, and do all these things....Does it then mean it's OK to have a "small titties-pride parade" and they can flash their small titties around on the floats all day and be proud of their tits because they are ashamed of them and some people will\have shown negative feelings towards women with extremely small breasts? I don't think so - because this is something that is normally veiwed as offensive towards certain people. Granted, no woman will be killed for her small breastedness, most likely, but the same principles apply in both situations.
Do you understand NOW?
