news! February 17 I just received an e-mail about something very important from the Harry Potter Alliance. If you've got some time, please please check it out!  Hetalia teaches us each week that even though we all come from different parts of the world, deep down we all have the same fears. Fans everywhere have been inspired by Hidekaz Himaruya’s portrayal of the world’s problems and how to fix them. Using characters like Sweden, who is the only confirmed gay character in the series, Mr. Himaruya strives for equality. Sweden’s feelings for Finland allowed them to escape from Denmark together and find a better life. Also, countries that are considered “weaker” are often the targets of bullying. Throughout the series, Italy is constantly hit by other countries when they pick on him. Even stronger countries like Russia are often left out of the group for being different. It is time to say “No more!” to bullying. The Harry Potter Alliance is fighting for LBGTQ equality and needs YOUR help! This is an issue that effects us all, not just one fandom alone. Our respective stories make us believe in the power of equality for all. Our favorite characters have stood for equality and against bullying--it’s time we join forces to do the same.
To make a stand against LBGTQ bullying, the HPA started a Facebook page called Fans for Equality. We’re asking members of all fandoms to take the initiative to “like” the page and join the discussion. We can talk about these difficult issues among our respective fandoms any time, but Fans for Equality is an open forum for all the fandoms to join together and share the lessons we’ve learned from our favorite stories and characters. We encourage you go join the discussion and talk about how equality is represented--or not represented--in Hetalia. Together we can work to see an end to the inequality.
