It annoys me when I hear gay guys saying they don't like the GayPride because it gives, according to them, a bad image of homosexuality. And what do they reproach the guys marching for? They reproach them for cross-dressing and giving people the feeling that all gay men are "like that", that is to say, effeminate. Or, when it comes to women, too "butch". There are so many arguments to answer that.

First of all, cross-dressing and feminity are not crimes as fas as I'm aware. Just like homosexuality, cross-dressing is an individual liberty and feminity is something you can't do anything against. Take me, for example, I'm a big sissy. When I answer the phone, people get me confused with my twinsister. And what does it change, whether thingy likes to dress up with high heels rather than leather boots? What does it change whether I lift my hand when I smoke? (I mean, smoked, I quit.)

Then, LGBTs must accept each other just the way they are. If we ever hit at each other, we will never make it. There must not be a kind of gay guys regarded as better because they would be more "integrated". We all have the right to the same respect and the same consideration.

Finally, cross-dressing and feminity or masculity are core issues in debates on sexual orientation and sexual identity, because they all question gender. Somehow, someone who doesn't accept a man dresses like a woman is someone who, logically, wouldn't accept a man can be penetrated like a woman. If we get back to the question about the image of homosexuality, it is important to make people accept cross-dressing, so it is important to make it visible during the Gay Pride. Furthermore, platform boots can severely hurt feet! Just for that, drag queens can be proud!

The LGBT flag is a rainbow for a reason, it is so to symbolise diversity among LGBTs. Just this acronym, LGBT, gathers so many different stories, but similar fights.

I really feel like doing some activism again, I really miss it.
