poeks:

* For the benefit of straight folks, homophobia is only ever the result of me wearing something “queer,” like a necktie, or whatever, or holding the hand of, kissing, showing affection to my S.O. Otherwise nobody knows, and just stares cause I’m smokin’ hot or whatevs.

I saw two girls holding hands on a street corner the other day, and it made me ridiculously happy. Hooray for self-expression! There is a lot of hate and fear and prejudice, and I’m always glad to see people with the intrepidity to be themselves.
