Tyra Banks ending the life of a homophobe on national tv.
Real talk, I watch Top Model, and I don’t take it too seriously at all, but when this happened I practically jumped off my couch and gave her a standing ovation. Like I watched the whole episode hoping that Will was coming to panel in heels, just so they could bring this up.

((I’m sorry but this kind of thing has to stop.
make stereotypes like “black people only eat watermelon and chicken” and you get attacked for being racist.
make stereotypes like “White girls take pictures of their coffee and stick it on instagram” and you get a 5000+ note text post.
“Gay people disgust me” = attacked by everyone on tumblr as a homophobic fuckhead.
“Straight people disgust me” = “omg lol so funny” 5 billion notes
If this said “black teenage girls” or “gay teenage girls” or ANYTHING like that everyone would be up in arms.
I appreciate that “white people” enslaved millions and were generally shit to what they consider to be minorities. I understand that. But that doesn’t give anyone the right to be racist/sexist/phobic in the other direction.
Racism is wrong
Sexism is wrong
Stereotypes and hatred based on sexuality or gender orientation is wrong.
And here’s the thing nobody seems to get; It’s wrong in both directions.
Equality is about everyone being equal while accepting that we have cultural or physical or any other kind of differences. It’s not about preaching hatred for another kind of person - I believe that’s the kind of thing we’re meant to be fighting against.
This has been a rant from someone who’s sick of the whole white girls thing. It wouldn’t be funny if it was anyone else, it’s not fucking funny when it’s them.))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The solution to racism/sexism/homophobia/all that’s in between is NOT by bashing the majority. It’s just not. That gets you nowhere. No, actually, it makes it worse. If you want more support and understanding, then stop doing stuff like this.
Check it out, guys! I’m working on a new story before “Treat Me Kindly” gets published! Some may say I’m crazy, but… well I am crazy, but this was actually done some time ago and I’m just editing/snazzing it up before sending it to publishers.
This is a gay romance story that suddenly turned novel length (oops?) It’s kinda got a crime thriller vibe, with some supernatural elements mixed in and a touch bit of horror? There’s a brief description below followed by a snippet of the two main boys in the story and how they interact with one another :)
Warnings: Geekery, cute boys doing cute boy things, me trying to tempt you with my writing more
Brief synopsis: When something tragic happens in your life you want nothing more than to close your eyes, go to sleep, and make all of the pain go away. For Gable Peterson it’s a little more complicated than that. When detective Maurice Ashford shows up at his door with news that his boyfriend, Avery Blair, has been found dead, Gable is left devastated. Gable does the same thing he did when his grandfather died back when he was a little boy; he closes his eyes and imagines a world where his loved one is still alive.
Only, when Gable wakes up, he’s surprised to see that Avery is actually still alive!
Gable discovers something very peculiar about himself. There’s a place inside of his head where another Gable Peterson exists. This other Gable tells him that he has the power to go back and keep Avery from dying. Of course, Gable doesn’t believe anything that he’s hearing.
Until Avery dies for the second time.
Shortly after, Gable finds himself back at day one. Now he’s more determined than ever to save his boyfriend.
But is it worth the hardship he’s about to face?
This isn’t just some accident that happens to Avery. Gable’s boyfriend is murdered in cold blood by someone who the media has called “The Horrific Homophobe” or “The Double H Murderer.” This killer roams the streets of Minneapolis, kidnapping gay men who turn up dead in a week’s time. They’re not just brutally killed, there are derogatory words written all over their bodies in a terrifying display of the hell they had suffered through during the week. Oddly enough, along with words like FAGGOT and QUEER and HOMO are compliments of nice eyes or beautiful smile and other charming words that have no business being anywhere near such hatred. Gable suddenly finds himself tracking down a killer, but can he save Avery in time?
*gasp* A new story has emerged! Dun dun dunnnnn!
