If Sam Smith were thin, cis, and straight, they wouldn’t be ridiculed for how they present and dress. If Harry Styles wore the same fits on a magazine cover, y’all would be screaming YAS QUEEN. Anyway, support fat queer people.

The Sam Smith Discourse is a great reminder that in our society it is a sin, above all other sins, to be fat. I've seen so many 'leave the androgyny to those who suit it' tweets, ALL of them using thin examples. Fat bodies are consistently, horrifyingly demonised.
