Hearing about Jessay's story and about his father really broke my heart :( the emotional trauma fkdjddkjs

The way black people age should be like a type of art.

“My dad said he’d kill me” bruh that broke my heart. I’m so blessed to have the family that I do and I’m so sorry for anyone who has to experience that. Disgusting how do you say that to your son?!

The Older guy in the middle Said I couldn’t wait to jump into bed with a man “Period” He meant that 1:21 😂👏🏾👏🏾

Jessay made me wanna just hug him through the screen. He didn’t deserve that. I can’t believe the trauma. 💔

Robert's middle school story is like something you only see in coming of age movies

I was worried about where Mick was at first but then i remembered how busy he was after making a Grindr

Bill is so cute, imagine him going to research gayness at the library, learning vocabulary. My heart.

"I've always wanted to be treated like a person." How sad anyone feels this way!

[BATTIS]

"Each generation stands on the shoulders of those who have gone before them" Right? We are blessed because this guys (and many many many more) came out back in the day. Yeah, nowadays we still have to deal with some shit, but we are certainly in a better place.
