i was at the beach recently seeing my little brother (not by blood, but by the sweat and tears of the hospitality industry) and he’s much younger than me and very straight-white-boy. and i am very NOT that. but we out here building COALITIONS okay?!!!!! and one of his younger friends (a literal child to me) was like, ”yeah man you should pick up golf!!! it’s not always about how good you are but it’s fun to spend time with homies and sometimes it’s mad beautiful with the nature and sunsets, i know that’s kinda gay” and my head almost did a full 360 rotation, but i was like this poor kid thinks APPRECIATING THE NATURAL WORLD FROM WHENCE HE CAME IS “GAY” (DEROGATORY) so low key i felt bad for him!!!! this is my patience and wisdom showing. so with perfect comedic timing, i hit em with the “if that’s gay i don’t wanna be straight” and they both CACKLED (i am like a visibly gay person and my lil brother knows i’m gay and a vocally radically leftist lunatic) and they both kinda tilted their heads and were like “yeah good point” and i think it’s little moments like this that can soften people’s perception and opinions. sometimes ppl should be very ashamed of their behaviors, thoughts, actions. but most of the time when we want people to think differently, shame will do the exact opposite. ANYWAY love y’all xoxoxoxoxo hope everyone is a little gay today (admires all the beauty this world has to offer) 😘😘😘😘
