If Cupid Passed You By Take A Look At This Heartbreaker

Thank goodness Marek + Richard is throwing everyone living in Singlesville a bone! The U.S.-based brand knows that sometimes love sucks on Valentine’s Day. Sometimes what you really want is pizza and a blow job. Or if love was really hurting this year, a line of crushed candy hearts and Grindr might do the trick.

The Marek + Richard Valentine’s Day lookbook release, entitled Heartbreaker, shows off looks with a hilariously bitter (or honest?) outlook on V-Day. The LUX SUX Drop Crotch Joggers take the cake — or rather, the first line of sugar. The trendy pants have a statement to make and they make it. In athletic letting and fortune-cookie wisdom, “LUX SUX” is written across the front of the pants.

The Suck Itself Racerback Tank states pure fact rather than opinion. This look reads “It ain’t gonna suck itself.” The Marek + Richard Valentine’s Day lookbook also includes snapbacks. One reads “himbo,” and another has 2.5/3 video game hearts.

Notice: No teddy bears were harmed in the photographing of this promotion.

What Do You Think Is The Best Part About Being Gay?

As the gay community gains momentum both politically and socially, there’s a lot to celebrate. Just last week, Alabama of all places began issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples. (Of course, not without a few naysayers throwing temper tantrums first.) And come June, the Supreme Court is expected to rule on marriage equality for the entire country.

Of course, our struggles extend beyond the right to marry and are far from over. There is still much work to be done when it comes to things like non-discriminations laws, bullying and the like. But the light at the end of the tunnel is definitely burning brighter.

Yesterday, we gave you our reasons. Now we want to hear from you. What do you think is the best part about being gay?

Sound off in the comments section below.
