It feels like it could be written for any backup in the Flash or for any anthology, and they just pasted it in this one to meet that page count.
"Clothes Makeup Gift" by Danny Lore is such an odd story. And I think it's very heartwarming that Alan could learn from his son to come out and be happy about who he was. But I thought this was a really good exploration of how especially older men who grew up in more oppressive times end up feeling trapped with their sexuality. I was surprised because I don't think the writer does a good job with their Punchline backups over in Joker. "He's the Light of My Life!" by Sam Johns is actually my favorite story here. But this wasn't bad and had a candidness to it that I really wish Harley would have more often. I just really dislike Harley and don't really care about Ivy. I don't have much affinity for the Harley/Ivy relationship. "Another Word for a Truck to Move Your Furniture" by Mariko Tamaki is alright. I genuinely come away from it having forgotten most of it already. It's very contemporary, and I'm sure that may resonate with other people, but for me. And that's not getting into news media and entertainment. Historical figures like Gandhi or Alexander the Great have been straightwashed because bisexuality is uncomfortable. Straightwashing is a thing, even with history. Besides an odd framing device that doesn't really add anything to the story and features John Constantine of all people, I do think this is well-written. "By the Victors" by Steve Orlando is probably my second favorite story of the anthology, which is crazy since it's Steve Orlando, but I've heard in the past that he is exceptionally good at writing Midnighter, so maybe that explains it. Nice moral that I completely agree with, I just find the path there boring as hell. But the moral of the story is ultimately a good one: Don't be ashamed for being different You aren't alone. Her costume is a 10/10, I loved her in 52, but god help me if I have to read another fucking story about her terrible sister. I don't know what it is about Batwoman, but I find her hopelessly boring most of the time. Such is the benefit of reviewing your comics in bulk (and falling hopelessly behind because life doesn't care about your hobbies.) "The Wrong Side of the Looki ng Glass" by James Tynion IV is. absurdity on display in these user reviews. I'll quickly run down each story and give my thoughts, and then I will address the. That doesn't matter here because I think the genuine criticisms of this book are universal, and the rest of what you see in these user reviews is horseshit. Most of the stories here should elicit a response from the reader that can only be described as "Eh." For what little it matters to this conversation, I am a member of the LGBT+ community. WTOP’s Dick Uliano contributed to this report.So for what is ultimately an extremely middling book, this sure has gotten a lot of ire. The bill was passed in the House in February. Mayor Muriel Bowser gave a speech at the rally point in Freedom Plaza, as did Vice President Kamala Harris.Īt the podium, Harris prodded the Senate to the pass the Equality Act, which would prohibit discrimination or segregation based on sex, sexual orientation and gender identity. neighborhoods and was followed by a colorful array of more than 50 automobiles decorated by registered organizations and businesses. The parade featured the official Pridemobile trolley, which moved through several D.C. To Heidi from Fairfax, Virginia, the event was a chance to publicly revel in her bisexuality after coming out a few months ago: “This is the first time I really got to celebrate my sexuality, and I’m very excited to be here and be out,” she said. “Even though these are all strangers, it feels like a reunion of sorts.” “I can feel the happiness radiating from everywhere,” said another parade attendee.
WTOP’s Dick Uliano reported that good vibes among marchers were abundant, as was the LGBTQ community’s characteristic rainbow flag. The Pride March kicked off in Dupont Circle before making its way to Freedom Plaza. “I feel proud just to be myself (and) seeing all these people proud to be themselves,” said one parade attendee. This year’s festivities saw a thick crowd of people turn out since last year’s parade was canceled amid coronavirus precautions. neighborhoods on Saturday, bringing with it a much-missed celebration for the region’s LGBTQ residents.
