Gay people are being assaulted in their own homes for showing their love in public, and misogynistic and homophobic straight shippers will say they don't need representation in the mainstream media
“Why do we need gay pride?”
This is why. Gay people are attacked, threatened and abused just for existing. Some of the most successful footballers in the world are abusers and rapists but homosexuality is where you draw the line?

I wanna say one actual real thing.
(This is gonna be sappy and gay, I know!)
Most of yall will never understand what it feels like to stand on that stage. Just a point of fact.
So most of yall will never understand what it feels like after working your ass off for years to get there, to stand in front of the judges, in front of your sisters, in front of dozens of crew members, in front of a rows and rows of cameras, in the COMPLETE fucking silence of the studio, and have one of the worst moments of your life.
I can STILL to this DAY vividly remember the sound of my heartbeat pumping in my ears trying to listen to what Ru was saying, my hands going cold, my throat burning and my body physically trembling as I tried not to break down cry in front of everyone.
So for Brooke to show a little human empathy in one of the worst moments of a person’s life speaks so much to her character as a person. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
