Whether you like it or not — the color pink is everywhere. It was plastered all over the "Barbie" marketing campaigns all summer long. It's in the everyday summer sunsets that slowly become less frequent as we ring in the fall. While the color may not be your favorite (it was never mine until recently) — it has societal importance. It's a gendered color — think anything feminine, it's pink right?
Without even trying, fashion and music celebrity couples like Rihanna and ASAP Rocky are trying to change that perception though. In recent family photos with their young, infant children and their newest son — aptly named Riot Rose — was dripping in pink, much to everyone's surprise and even posed some confusion about their son's gender. Some comments bordered on homophobic and transphobic, with certain people unable to fully comprehend that a boy dressed in pink was inside the realm of possibility.
