A Person By Any Other

Submitted by Uly Harp, the model and photographer

“This is a portrait I was inspired to do after coming out as pansexual / pangender to my friends and family. I twisted Shakepeare’s famous quote ‘A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet’ to ‘A person by any other gender / sex would be just as sweet’ as a way to say that gender / sex doesn’t make a difference to who a person is inside.”

    love the pic and message. I think Shakespeare must have been a twisted, confused and sometimes mismatched and freaky person in a good way, too. He couldn`t have created such a work without beeing fluid in some ways. AND I love the hat you wear!!!!

    And, oddly, you look like someone I know.
