This is how many Americans still think gay sex should be illegal

Never has discrimination looked so beautiful.
Sometimes a fashion statement says so much more than "I'm fierce."
When Dutch designers Mattijs van Bergen and Oeri van Woezik joined forces for EuroPride, they knew they wanted to contribute something that spoke volumes. As visual artists, it was important for that message to be conveyed through the power of a single image.
