Round 29: LGBT

[wickedgame]

THEME

June is widely known as pride month, so this month's theme is LGBT. It could be characters, actors, musician, etc. - whatever you like. Have fun! :)

1. Sign ups will be open to the end of this round, which will be the 4th of July
2. You don't have to sign up, but some people enjoy the challenge of sticking to their theme
3. Post your icons either in your graphics comm or a post at this community. If you post at your graphics comm, make a post here also and link to your comm with 3 icons as an example.
4. Please now use the template! It would make it easier for me to post voting. (you only need to paste your links in and remove the one space here -> </ textarea>)

Do the characters have to be canonically LGBT?

[nondenomifan]

I don't know how she feels, but I even restricted myself to people who were LGBT+ in real life. All it takes is typing "celebrities who are out and proud" into your search engine. One I learned was not whom I thought was: the former lead singer of Silverchair (Daniel "Paul" Johns). He sang the wonderful song "Straight Lines," which was basically about the frustration of conforming to society's sexual norms, but he then was forced to proclaim to the world that he wasn't gay.

It's really sad that sexuality labels matter so much, isn't it? I hope one day we can move beyond gender, culture, race, age, disability, and status and just accept that we all require the same oxygen, water, and basic nutrients to function.

Yes. There's no point in having LGBT challenge if the characters/people are not.

[aliensamba]

Okay. I was thinking about Buck and Eddie from 911 when I asked.

Oh, I love those two! Maybe I'll make non-canon couple round in the future :)
