Typical shit, like your family always addressing your partner as “your friend” instead of your girlfriend or boyfriend. No, none of what I said just now is special, none of it is unique and no it doesn’t need to be a public service announcement necessarily, but for those that come from backgrounds and families where being anything other than heterosexual is a downright disgrace or something “we just don’t talk about,” life can be a living hell! Some of y’all know what I mean. Especially since I was “too pretty to be gay,” whatever the hell that shit supposed to mean! Still maintained my femininity (which I embrace as well), but literally hid my true self just because I knew that I was expected to be something different, someone acceptable and comfortable for everyone else. My mannerisms were well rehearsed, I knew how to turn on and off my so-called “masculine or gay” shit around grandma and all them. Yes I’ve had boyfriends, I half-way planned a wedding to a man, grew up in the church over half my life, been told I just “haven’t met the right man,” all that shit, but still at the end of the day…I’m muh’fuckin gay okay? Back in the day growing up, I even dressed different at home then I did when I’d go out with friends. Black, female, multi-racial, religious fanatic turned spiritualist, blah, blah, blah. ![]() So listen, no introductions, no slow lead in, I just wanna get straight to it.
