An Open Letter to my Facebook Friends List...Love Stupid Boi

I feel so inspired today! I am smiling and happy, it is Friday and we are going into a three day weekend. That is not the source of my inspiration. The source of my inspiration is my friends list of Facebook. It is truly a diverse cast of characters! So I am writing to thank some people on there!

To my Gay Brothers:
Thank you for being Beautiful and Unique! You have truly empowered, inspired, and lifted me. Without you my world would be dull and grey. Being Gay is a true blessing! I feel so honored to count myself among the ranks of a group of people who can rise above the hate and pain, and find love, where love is overdue. Please love each other! I just hope we stop turning in onto each other based on appearance. WE ARE ALL BEAUTIFUL! We come in all different shapes, sizes, and flavors! While Vanilla is great sometimes you just want to taste the Pasticcio to find out if you like it. Just take a sample of all the flavors our community has to offer!

To my Lesbian Sisters:
Thank you for being the care takers of our community. For holding us up as we struggled against the beast of this Pandemic. Thank you for standing beside us and fighting with us. Without you and your amazing strength we would not be able to rise above the tides that try to hold us back. My wish for you is that you continue to show strength in the face of adversity. Someone needs to keep us bois in line…lol!

To my Bisexual Brothers & Sisters:
I have not forgotten about you! I truly appreciate you for staying with the community! I know that sometimes it is hard to feel that you are apart of the Rainbow Alphabet; but we are working to change that. You have show amazing courage of conviction when it comes to your staying power. Thank you for helping fight for our rights. I promise that I will continue to make sure that there is Bi-Visibility! I am sorry for those of us who have made the comments or remarks. I welcome you all into my community! Love is Love is Love! Even if that love is straight, LOL.

To my Transgender, Queer, Two Spirited, Intersex, and other wise inclined Family:
I know it is sometimes hard to see yourself as a part of our community. I am truly sorry for that. However, YOU ARE AMAZING PEOPLE! To have the strength to say, “I am who I am, Love me!” is amazing! I have learned so much from you! I learned to love myself. It is simply amazing to feel the warmth of your community. Please continue to pave the road to equality! You are a part of my community, I love you and I will continue to fight hard!

Straight Brother and Sisters:
I know you’re there…I will find you…lol! I want to thank those of you who stand with my community. It is great to have you as a part of our extended family. It is okay that you are not gay…we still love you! I have found so many allies in your community. Those people who truly just want equality for all. A very good friend of mine, who I love, told me I don’t agree with you but I love you just the same. That is an act of revolution! To love in the face of disagreement. You are all beautiful as well! Thank you.

To all of my Brothers & Sisters in the Fight Against HIV/AIDS:
What can I say to you? WOW! You have changed the World! Really you have! You have mobilized communities, forced Governments to take action, and made the world look! AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING! Don’t forget that! I know the road is rough, believe me, the road is rough. Money is tight, politics get in the way. Just remember where we came from! Just don’t forget those we have lost and remember that that tally mark is a person!
I heard someone say “if your sick of fight then sit the fuck down!” I agree and disagree. Some of us have been fighting so long that it is hard, take a break but never give up. I know that there are not millions of people knocking at our door to take over! Just have a seat; I will pick up the slack, because if I need a break I know you will be there! Never Pass the Torch, just light someone else’s!

If you feel I left you out I am sorry, but you are in there somewhere. I know it looks as though I forgot my family, but I haven’t because at the end of the day, no matter what was said or done, family is family and will be there for me.

That is what I wanted to share with the world today. Thanks for reading!

XOXO,
Stupid Boi
