Image if every cover of Batman looked like these

dcwomenkickingass:

I’ve just catching up on some posts over at blog 1979Semifinalist regarding a cover for the February issue of Fables. It resonated with me because of some feedback I was given this week regarding my concerns about how Wonder Woman’s body was portrayed on an upcoming cover of Justice League Generations Lost. The essence of the feedback that we both received is this, “You women are too touchy/obsessed with the way women are shown/portrayed on comic covers. Not everything is sexist.”

If you enjoy this, please consider reblogging. :) I love you if you like it, but I love information to get disseminated too! XD

Here it is! Harley Quinn’s contribution to ‘We Got Your Back/It Gets Better’. ;) ;)

While I think it’s really nice to make soothing noise about some vague, indeterminate time that ‘it’ll get better’, I believe it’s far more useful, affirmative and pro-active to provide practical information, advice and clear images of the powerful and strong community that exists out there for those who are not heterosexual or cissexual/cisgendered.

Community is the most important thing we have, and with this video I tried to show all the queer kids out there who live local to where I do (Sydney, NSW, Australia) where they can go to find that community, as well as referrals to support and information services. I thought a mini-tour of the hub of queer life in Sydney would give them a picture of the sort of place they can access. My urban family is vital to my livelihood and sense of happiness and security. 

The fact is - it DOESN’T get better for everyone. BUT. You don’t have to be alone. And with an urban family of your own, you can build the strength, self-confidence and emotional resources better able to deal with a still very queerphobic society, as well as have a refuge to turn to when things get rough.
