I'd only be gay if I willingly had sex with "her" after finding out the details. Hence why I said a trap. I do agree that labels make things a mess, but I find it's the folks that fit into the labels that push for them in the first place. My campus for instance has LGBTQ awareness posters all over the place, yet I had always thought calling a homosexual "queer" was derogatory. I just can't keep up anymore.
Yeah, my Mom has definitely earned a place for herself after raising three kids. I don't know how single parents do it.
Touché. Point made as I hope mine is too. You've admittedly seen something liked in the pics (minus hidden "pop ups") and the only thing holding you back, besides a wife, is the pop up board lol. Should we now consider you half-gay, 2/3gay etc? Fuck that, you're still Halfwit dealing knowledge to the newbs like it was crack in the 80's in Brooklyn!! Whatever your preference, it doesn't change who you are, its simply a sexual preference which has a very small part in defining who you are as a person. I agree that queer is deragotory (even says so in the definition under Webster lol) so I don't understand why one would call themselves that but as you pointed out, ppl push labels when they want to fit in them. My campus has the same posters btw.
My ex is a single mom of a 5yo and I worry for both of them now. We were living in probably the worst ghetto projects in the worst city in CT. She's got the 5yo by herself now and doing the daily grind like a trooper while every other parent in that Godforsaken hell hole of a housing tenement lets their kids do whatever they want. I ran into one of the old neighbors from that place today at work coincidentally and he told me all of the following happened this past week alone: 3cars set in fire, 1 vandalism, 3 shootings (2 fatal), 1 robbery, 4 heroin dealers (a drug ring) busted, 1 rape and domestic assault, and 8 Drunk and disprderlies. ALL IN A 1 WEEK TIME SPAN. Now I've got to worry about their safety but she can't afford,to move her and her daughter out. She works 6days a week 60+ hrs/wk and still finds time to help her kid with homework, take her to the park and everything else a good mother would do. Then you look at the other ppl there basically popping babies out to get another check from Uncle Sam and it makes me sick. A few months ago i saw One lady beat the crap out of her kid for dropping a carton of milk and spilling it so bad he was knocked unconscious. I try to go and stop her and the next thing I know is I'm looking down the barrel of a gun bc her man saw me walking up. Smh. I'll never take for granted what my parents provided me with and the lessons they taught me, one of which coincidentally is "don't judge ppl on labels and characteristics, judge them by their actions and willingness to do what is right in a wrong situation.
