"When I told my father I was going to marry Jake he said, ‘If you marry that man you will never set foot in this house again.’⁣
⁣
He was horrified that I could contemplate marrying a black man, and I soon learned that most people felt the same way. The first years of our marriage living in Birmingham were hell — I cried every day, and barely ate. No one would speak to us, we couldn’t find anywhere to live because no one would rent to a black man, and we had no money.⁣
⁣
People would point at us in the street. Then I gave birth to a stillborn son at eight months. It wasn’t related to the stress I was under but it broke my heart, and we never had any more children.⁣
⁣
We were at the same technical college. I was having typing and shorthand lessons and he’d been sent there for training by the Air Force. He was with a group of black friends and they called my friend and me over to talk. We didn’t even know they spoke English, but Jake and I got chatting. He quoted Shakespeare to me, which I loved.⁣
⁣
Jake returned to Trinidad, but we carried on writing to each other, and a few years later he returned to the UK to get better paid work.⁣
⁣
He asked me to marry him, quite out of the blue, when I was only 19. My father threw me out, and I left with only one small suitcase to my name. No family came to our register office wedding in 1948.⁣
⁣
But gradually life became easier. I got teaching jobs, ending up as a deputy head teacher. First Jake worked in a factory, then for the Post Office.⁣
Slowly we made friends together, but it was so hard. I used to say to new friends: ‘Look, I have to tell you this before I invite you to my home — my husband is black.’⁣
⁣
My father died when I was 30 and although we were reconciled by then, he never did approve of Jake.⁣
⁣
Today we have been married for 63 years, and are still very much in love. I do not regret marrying him for an instant, despite all the pain we have suffered."⁣

Since the pride month tweet gained 500k likes we just wanted to remind everyone that we've always been supportive

@bodil40 been watching on and off ever since 2012, and whenever i was going through a dark time, i could always go to ⛵dil40 to cheer myself up. thank you and I'm so proud of you and your confidence 🌈💜

[Bodil40 @bodil40]

now I just hope my parents don't completely disown me when they find out. Because having to roleplay around people is literally draining and im super done with it. I had a 'coming out' msg drafted since last year and never had the balls to post it, until now. Hope shit is ok (:

[Bodil40 @bodil40]

a country where being Gay is a stigma and frowned upon. Because Bulgaria is 20 yrs behind and people just can't accept that some people are gay, bi, lesbian etc. So yeah, Happy fucking #PrideMonth and I'm happy this is an issue that is getting the attention needed 2/3

[Bodil40 @bodil40]

Hi guys, after literally 28+ years of my life, I've come to publicly say that I'm gay. I've been gay my entire life, you're just born this way. But I chose to or rather had to hide it for years because of stuff like religion (religious parents), social stigma and living in 1/2

Amidst all of the pain of this season, it’s been nice to see this man fighting at the front again.

Always in the hearts of every tifoso ❤️
