A lot of yall would rather us live in the shadows and in closets and in misery, just so yall don't have to explain our existence to your children. Well, your children gon' learn today lol. All of the work that black families put into keeping shit silent and unseen is toxic. It contributes to shame. And fuck that; neither Michael Sam nor the many LGBT children that your kids will soon meet at school, in the neighborhood, and on football teams have anything to be ashamed of.

I know it's comfortable to keep doing the things that your family has done for generations (which, in this case, is nothing). But it's time to let it go.
