Jacob Riis Beach hosts the day of body positivity and fun, in the city at the heart of the fat acceptance movement

Fat Beach Day events are springing up across the US in an effort to fight back against fat-phobia, reclaim safe spaces for the community and honor plus-size culture. Today, one of these celebrations is being held to coincide with Pride month at Jacob Riis Beach in New York, a location deeply ensconced in the city’s activism space.

You're gatekeeping the word pride, lol. Try just not being a dick.

Whats wrong with being a dick? None of us would be here without dicks. Say no to dick shaming. Dick pride.

Having a dick is all well and good, but I don't think I'd want to interact with a person who was entirely 100% a penis. Big difference between having and being.

A) that's just like, your opinion, man.

B). You against GMOs too?! Like, someone worked hard to breed him (and me) at near 100% dick. We bananas wouldn't even be edible if not for selective breeding to increase phallusy-ness!
