Many of the movement’s lears were openly gay or intified as havg nuanced sexuali cludg Angela Weld Grimké, Cl McKay, Langston Hugh, Wallace Thurman, Alice Dunbar-Nelson, Ala Locke, and Richard Bce Nugent among others.
It’s been a hard 30 years for me as a non-bary homosexual on this cis, straight pla. Bee when you aren’t lookg, we gays are plottg and planng the Gay Agenda.
“I THK YOU’RE GAY. THAT’S OKAY. YOU’RE MY SON, I LOVE YOU.”
The Gay Agenda which, to terrify all of my loyal nservative fans, always has been and always will be about makg as many people gay as possible. And so this Pri month, as your agony nt here at Vogue, I am here to liver to you the LGBTQ+ msage: I’m here to tell you that ’s time to go gay. We get to wear leather whout lookg try-hard, we get to watch unhged drag queens fall over dive bars, and we get to holiday hom Tangier owned by “terr ratn gays.
