Ian Garry stars in PETA’s new “The Future Is Plant-Based” campaign
“Before I was plant-based, I was strong. But now I’m on another level. My body works better, my mind is locked in.
This is the future. And the future is powered by plants.”
Everyone is going "aww" over the recent rooftop proposal by Angela Nikolau and Ivan Beerkus. It looks cinematic and there's no denying the courage and skill involved they've spent years doing extreme urban climbing.
At the same time, it makes me think about how differently we judge people.
When untrained girls in Bihar climbed mobile towers to express their love or demand marriage, they were widely mocked as gawar. Police officers would patiently try to convince them to come down, sometimes even saying, Beta Priyanka neeche aa jao, biyah karwa denge.
To be clear, I'm not defending either stunt. Climbing buildings or towers without proper safety is dangerous, whether you're trained or untrained. The difference is that one story gets framed as a breathtaking love story, while the other is often reduced to a joke or a symbol of backwardness.
Love is love. Recklessness is recklessness. Maybe our reactions say as much about class, presentation and perception as they do about the act itself.

FIFA previously reiterated fans will not be prohibited from bringing rainbow flags, despite objections from the two country's respective federations.
Seattle PrideFest had designated the June 26 game for celebration before FIFA made the World Cup draw.
