Sorry, Pride Only Celebrates Your Body If You're Fit
I'm no body-image expert, but it seems to me that Pride has a big problem when it comes to the representation and celebration of bodies. It's one of the most explicit messages we send without saying anything at all, and it's an insidious problem, but it eats, sleeps, and breathes among us at Pride (and throughout the rest of the year).
But the reality is that much of society still remains stuck worshipping one or a few types of bodies. Can anyone please tell me if we have an equivalent of "The Pit Crew" in mainstream media that sports a different body type, whether that be size or hair amount? Muscular bodies are, and have been for a very long time, the ideal when it comes to men, whether queer or straight. And Pride, being part of society and culture, is not immune from being influenced.
If Pride were to appropriately display and honor bodies that look different, it would certainly have an impact. Look to Twitter's celebration of bigger men, #BigGuyTwitter. People were thirsting all over the web because collectively, people changed the perspective of these types of bodies. If Pride could only do the same thing, all over the world, it would be a truly beautiful thing.
