I can’t explain the feeling of pride and love when my father supports me as a #BlackGayGuy. I can remember a time when I thought my Kenyan father would disown me if I came out. I’m lucky to never have gone through that with my Dad. I love you, Dad. Asante sana. #SCOTUS #MarriageEquality #Black #gay #sex & #everything #blogger
