I have a friend who is a very outspoken, strong advocate for LGBT rights. Our conversations always seem to stem from these issues and then always seem to conclude with the idea that social norms should be broken down for the betterment of our society. This weekend, we were talking about what defines people as being gay or straight, which led to degrees of gayness or straightness. These degrees made it seem like unless someone is in the act with their sexual preference, they should not be firmly labeled as gay or straight. Playing with this, I thought about different ways "straight" people could be doing "gay" things (like a boy wearing a pink dress etc.). So for this assignment I gave a man overly-feminine hair, which I hope doesn't label his sexual preference, but just shows that he's a man with long, voluminous, blow-dried hair.
