The thing I’ve also seen is the ones who are like “Why did you have to tell us you’re gay?” are also the ones who are like “I have no problem with gay people but why do y’all need to be out/get married/have (or adopt) kids/live in my neighborhood/attend my church?”

As a black, cis-gender and bisexual woman, I used to have the common trail of feeling that I was “safe” from homophobia and bi-phobia. After all, there aren’t too many reports about violent acts of biphobia against women, hitting new feeds.

Ummm.

(funny because no one cared about lesbians...)

Um because of the hypocrisy.

I used to be on this same shit with my gay friends. “You’re gay, who gives a fuck? I don’t”. But I got a wake up call some years back. My self and a bunch of friends went out, and at the end of the night one of my gay friends needed a ride home, so aight, cool. As we’re walking the many blocks to my car, these kids in…

That was painful to watch. Poor kid. I can feel his heart racing. Body flushed with heat. Trying to keep himself from shaking as he remembers all the times his identity has been attacked. Looking around and finding no one’s got his back.

The fact that Kevin “I’d beat my son for being gay” Hart, of all people, has the fucking gall to ask why it’s a big deal for anyone to come out is one of the most infuriating things I’ve come across in a long time.

I used to be the same, with the “You’re gay, who cares?” I thought this was the enlightened approach. But that shit is the same as people who say they don’t see color. I don’t care, because my privilege allows me to not care if Lil Nas X is gay. But that’s a part of his identity and if he wants/needs to express it,…

It's only a rivalry if both sides win. 

hair styles such as carvings, mohawks, spikes, etc. are not allowed,” according to the news outlet.

I like Billie Eilish too. She’s different from the other bubblegum pop fluff. And studio talented. I mean all those songs were recorded/mixed with her brother in her bedroom. I mean come on.

I don’t think the hair had anything to do with it, but you already knew that.

“That kid is showing part of his scalp, I’m scandalized!” ~People who write dress codes

So what’s the point of requiring a emergency contact, etc. for a student if you don’t use the fucking info when you need to? Shouldn’t there be a phone call made to say, “Hey, you child’s haircut doesn’t adhere to our standards. It needs to be taken care of.” Whether the standard is right or wrong, the call needs to…

This is the first time I’ve ever seen any reason why face tattoos are in any way desirable. I wonder if, when he got those painful-looking things, Mr. Allen had any idea that they might one day keep him from going to prison.

They ain’t even the same color. lol

so is this when everyone finally accepts that jay-z and beyonce are opportunists who value power+money more than any real social cause or issue? we can still enjoy the music of course, but can we accept this truth? 

Hey, how about we Black people own the plantations! We’ll be better able to motivate the Black slaves with an inside perspective! Black baseball players with strong upper arms will be the whip slingers. Black marathin runners will catch any runaways. Yeah, that’s the ticket. Civil Rights Dreams fulfilled!

I’m a little bit conflicted about this. While I agree this whole thing is a bad look for Jay-Z, I find it hard to side with either Eric Reid or Kaepernick completely.
