A gay teen caught fighting with someone over rumors that he’d slept with the school football team may have received the best lesson imaginable from a transgender inmate on Scared Straight (unfortunate title, considering).
She tells the boy he should take it as a compliment, because he has “all the men.”
But more importantly, she drives this point home:
“As long as you’re gay, you’re gonna have haters…There’s nothing wrong with being gay, and don’t let nobody tell you there is. You can be anything you want to just have your own.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
That’s something we could all do well to remember.

How incredibly inspiring. I’m assuming it’s a slow news day.

Yes, it always best to be proud of oneself and not let the haters get you down. People are going to say nasty things but it’s best not to let it get to you and to laugh it off.

Lawd, ham’ murcy jesus what sin did that ol’ ugly whores parents commit to make something like that (her). Wonder what she dun’ done to end up een there?
All bullshit aside, I could not agree more with her comment. Girl has obviously been around the block a few times and she seems to have taken a non-sexual liking to this kid, which is good. She is telling this kid right, you have to learn how to capitalize on the ignorance of the ignorant. When people see you getting/doing something they would have never thought of or simply to lazy/unmotivated to get up off of their asses and front porches try to do themselves that is what pisses them off. And trust me, success is something that always foils haters.
I do wish that SOMEONE would do a documentary on a queen(s) (race be damned) who went to prison, did her time, got out and started a BUSINESS. I don’t give a damn if it is a coffee/donut shop, local corner store, any damn thing. Let the world know that we not only consume but know how to sell, generate taxes and are not ALL interested in being the next contestant on ol’ Ru’s Drag Race. There are a few of us who prefer to own the whole damn store where the makeup is being stole….er um sold. (Couldn’t resist it folks).

Yea this episode of the show aired before Thanksgiving I think and they are just acknowledging it. It also wasn’t the first time they’ve had that same prison on there where they’ve taken the boys to the alternative ward.

Blackceo

@aliengod: For you every day must be a slow news day. But then you are very very thick.
DarkZephyr
@aliengod: Why are you such a nasty nasty person?
@Bob LaBlah: R*cist f*ck. Seriously WHY are you like that? You have never been discriminated against? Never made fun of for being gay? You truly DON’T know what its like to be castigated?

Message to the trans person: no, you can’t be anything you want to be. I can’t be a Bill Gates. I can’t be a Tim Cook. I can’t be the Dalai Lama. This fake notion that you can be “anything you want to be” is ridiculous and needs to be dispensed with.
I’m not saying that people shouldn’t have aspirations but those aspirations need to be couched in reality and not fantasy. A man claiming to be a woman is one such fantasy.
Bob LaBlah
@DarkZephyr: Your “flattering” remarks notwithstanding you might want to go back and reread my comment. I think I paid tribute to the old jailbird queen by the end of it.
Giancarlo85
@jason smeds: Oh wow you again. Can you use your little mind for a second? Maybe think? Do you know what “anything you want to be” refers to? It refers to being your own person, you illiterate phony. And we get it you no aspiration in life. You are a pathetic loser.
” A man claiming to be a woman is one such fantasy.”
More transphobic bullshit… why am I not surprised you’re still spouting off this ridiculous crap?
Saint Law
I see my reply to the Jason Smeds troll has been redacted – again! It’s lol that you’ve gone running to the moderator. Who’d have thought someone so thick could be so sensitive?
As for the woman in the vid. You’re just jealous ‘coz she has had more men than you ever have or ever will, you dried up wet-wipe.

Queerty is so late with this that homegurl in the video is already out of jail and she’s been parading with huge titties through New York, telling everybody she was waiting for them at the doh!
Black Pegasus
@Blackceo: @Taskebab: LMAO!! Yes, this meme has been out there for months within the urbanites. But it’s still funny as hell everytime I see her head do the whoop.
