The LGBTQ movement has come a long way in receiving proper rights, recognition, and safety, but it is an ongoing struggle. There are always those who resist and hate what they do not understand or fear, and that means vigilance and education are vital. So, too, is representation, and celebration of such causes through demonstration and representation is a great way to show support.
The punk look is pretty recognizable thanks to the music scene. It's also decently versatile, which makes it a great choice for this sort of clothing situation. A good baseline for this look involves purple hair, usually cut short or spiky, a denim jacket, spiked collar, and some dark colored armbands. For footwear, some black boots are an excellent choice, as they're not only punk, but stylish and also comfortable.
This style makes for a great base to expand upon, as well as working excellently on its own. For example, those with piercings may want to use them to accentuate and compliment the collar, contrast with the hair, and the like. Other darker colors besides purple might be preferred. While black is the next obvious answer, there are other dark, moody colors that exemplify the punk scene.
You don't need to be a superhero to support gay rights, but there's no reason not to dress up as one for the cause, to show support, or for fun. This outfit presents a great chance to showcase not just the regular LGBTQ rainbow, but a specific rainbow of the spectrum you feel allied or a part of when you don the costume. Whatever pride you support, the shirt can show that. You can also wear a red or rainbow cape, though it's worth remembering the words of Edna Mode, and her opinion on that matter.
Footwear can make for a fun accessory, though comfort should take precedence. High heels are an option, but some sturdy, stylish boots can work extremely well, too. High heels are not ideal for walking long term, and they're not good for your feet. It really depends on where you go when you wear them. The same goes for boots, though a sturdy pair of comfortable boots in style can go a long way for this outfit.
The fight for gay rights is a constant one. While a lot of inroads and successes are on the books, hate and fear remain strong, especially in certain circles. This should not deter members and their allies from showing their support however they can. Whether it's a costume party, march, or just daily style, the right outfit and accessories can make a statement wherever you choose to wear them.
