Pride Day 28

2024, Selfies, ,

Pride Day 28: The Answer by Rebecca Sugar. Yep, it’s a KIDS’ book featuring a same-sex couple. While I wouldn’t recommend this necessarily for people who have not watched Steven Universe (you will be heavily spoiled AND you won’t fully get the context), it is a lovely sweet story about two “she” characters falling in love. One of the author’s other related books, The Tale of Steven (also VERY spoilery for the end of the show), has a dedication “to trans and gender-expansive kids” because of its focus on the importance of one’s personal identity and speaking truth to power.

Pride Day 24

2024, Selfies,

Pride Day 24: Officially licensed Steven Universe Pride merch. One is an iron-on Made of Love patch and the other is a rainbow Garnet. I think we all feel some kinda way about rainbow capitalism, but I do really love that some companies decided to back some brave queer cartoon shows enough that they think there’s enough of our gay money to bother trying to get their hands on it!
