Long story short:
I want to wear some ****, but idk if it’s right to wear since I’m not apart of the LGBTQ community. It’s better if you read the passage for better context.
Long story long:
I’ve wondered this for quite sometime and the question effected me personally when came across a pair of sneakers w/ rainbows on them that I liked & even went as far as to buying them. They were a pair of Eytys. I ultimately returned them b/c I almost wasn’t sure if it would be considered I guess appropriation of Pride Culture, & I didn’t want to do that. I asked friends, and they were like “it’s cool”, but friends are friends, so sometimes they give passes to **** like blacks volunteering their “other” friends an "n-word pass".
Anyway, I’m facing this dilemma again. Came across some fire overalls I liked last month w/ rainbows on them, and brought. As dope as I think they are, idk if I’m generally “allowed” to wear them. Supreme did a Dead Prez collab last year or so & w/o context seeing “other” walk around w/ Pan-African flags is a bit of head tilter w/o context... I guess?
May the LGBTQ bro’s & cho’s of this sight give ya boy a lil insight here. In a way I’m being selfish b/c I want to wear a garment, but then again, more than style, the moment I brought the thing I made a political statement.
Here are the shoes I mentioned earlier:
Also, I have Finn Balor pride shirt that I don’t question wearing b/c it’s kinda blatant in show of support & it’s associated w/ fairly known message from a fairly known person,“For Everyone”.
