I mean, here’s the thing: I wasn’t raised in a household where it was considered abnormal to be gay. So for me to meet people who use the word ‘faggot’ as an insult, with a derogatory meaning, I can’t take it. I don’t understand it. It’s so foreign to me.
I was raised in a household where being gay was like, the most normal thing. You know, my brother is gay, all of my best friends are gay. When my brother came out of the closet, it wasn’t a big deal for my family. Even my grandpa, who is like, super old-school, was like, ‘Good for you!’ It’s outrageous to me when I see people hate on someone because of their sexuality. I hate the intolerance. I hate the judgment. I hate it so much.
Most of my favorite people in my life are gay. It’s something I’m super passionate about, because whenever I would see my friends get bullied, or my brother get hurt for his sexuality, I would become a raging lunatic. I would literally become a raging lunatic because I just can’t take it.
When you see someone you love hurting, for such a superficial, bullshit reason, it’s like, how small and spiritually unenlightened and dumb as fuck can a person be? How much further can your head get up your ass that you’re actually judging someone as a person based on their sexuality before you even have a conversation with them?”
How about we take this to the next level?

She is lucky! My parents offered to send me to counseling – so I went – to a counselor who was also gay! That solved that!

We need several millions more like this young lady! I am currently in Brazil and there are many people with positive changed minds, but there are still uneducated lunkheads around who need “enlightening!”

I’m glad that she was raised with such good values, although her public persona is annoying.

It’s sad when your own family disowns you. Imagine that if you’re a kid.

more and more households will have the same outlook and less and less children will question how they will be accepted and there will be fewer suicides, fewer cases of gay people using drugs and more and more happy happy joy joy

Ariana, you’re trying too hard, hun!! Cult gay followings develop organically, not by design.

Now, if she could only convince her friend Biber to finally come out and live openly in marriage with his longtime lover Lil Za. Lil Za has been holding his man down for years and deserved to be recognized as Bieber’s domestic partner.
