With Pride month coming to an end; I wanted to break character and share a personal story.
Growing up, my mom was extremely close to her brother. He actually traveled with us to other countries to help my family settle in as my step-father was busy with work.
Uncle Keith was our favorite. He knew how to joke and play with us as kids. Yet he also encouraged and held deep life discussions with us.
We were told be careful if he ever got a cut, and to not touch his blood. Besides that, everything was normal. We never saw him nor treated him any differently.
My uncle passed away before his 30th birthday while visiting us. This devastated my family; most importantly my mother.
I only ever saw him as a kind, caring man who loved us very much. It didn’t matter that he had AIDS nor did it matter to us that he was gay.
His presence in our lives was truly a blessing and had a profound influence. When I reflect on our memories with him all I feel is love, gratitude and respect.
I can’t possibly imagine seeing another person as lesser than myself just because of their sexual or gender identity. Even though, sadly, this platform as a whole is constantly pushing hate in our faces.
I’m not going to pretend I fully understand everything. There’s a younger generation before me that’s currently shaping their own identities in the world. Changing the social norms of yesterday. What I do understand, however, is that they’re no less deserving of the love, gratitude and respect that I had for Uncle Keith.
You are loved, you are being fought for and you’re very much welcomed to be you.
Elizabeth Banks is such a fascinating director bc every time she announces a new movie im like “what the fuck?? What do you mean Cocaine Bear? What do you mean Skincare???”
I truly think the root of the issue that incels have with OF models is that they’re jealous they can’t make the same money bc nobody is in the market for incel nudes
my fav part about this thread is people asking what my father thinks or “when her dad sees she does OF” assuming that just bc he’s a man or parent he’s stands higher morally than me when he actually used to come home from his carpenter job and drill into my mom’s skin w his tools.
or how he shoved my sister & i into closets bc we were crying & kept us in there.
or how he would lock up the food in the home & we couldn’t eat until he said we could.
crazy concept, but there’s worse things than OF models out there.
Here we have self aware garbage, technology has come so far that modern day trash can actually take itself out, no longer must you spend hours hoping that it will get up and sort itself out, good job buddy I’m so proud of you
