I'm so sick and tired of seeing Superman and Batman and Captain America and Black Panther and Iron Man and Spider-Man logos on shirts for both men and women, and when it comes to female heroes like Wonder Woman, there are very limited options in men's apparel.
Pride reminds us of those who'd come before us, of those who'd fought for us, of those who are still fighting, of those who'd been jailed or killed because of their sexuality. Pride affirms our existence. Pride reminds us of us. It took (some of us) so much blood and tears and time to accept ourselves, but we're here.
I saw Wonder Woman in theaters four more times after that. In IMAX 3D at AMC Burbank 16, in 4DX at Regal LA Live, in regular digital at Vista, and finally in 70mm at ArcLight Hollywood.
Today, I want to feel proud of my body. Today, I'm owning my wax-apple nose, my limp wrists, my affection for all things pink and girly and camp, my cellulite, my muffin top, and the arms I've worked so hard for.
