Any person who deviates from the projected physical beauty standards is treated as being unhygienic, ugly, lazy, and lewd. Society is so afraid and almost offended to see fat queers living their lives, wearing clothes they should not, going to the beach, being naked, or reclaiming their fat bodies. With our performance, we seek to liberate fatness from the imaginative shackles of ugliness and to broaden the terms of physical well-being and beauty. It is also a call to encourage other fat queers to accept and appreciate their bodies, and for all the others to start accepting diversity in bodies. Our value is not determined by the number on the scale.

We are FAT; we are QUEERS!
