GAY COD

the amount of people who replied to this sayg that shego was the e of their gay awakeng is outstandg so here’s an appreciatn post for our queen. are we all jt gog to ignore the fact that natalie certa and cz ramirez rs 3 are gay girls bound to hook up or what.

Nonscript language ed between gays who are partially out of the closet, to avoid spicn.

Mutual unrstandg that semi-closeted gays who are out to each other do their bt to nceal the sexual orientatn of the other, or, at the very least, do not force the other out of the closet. Gay #2: Nope, and that's the worst part, isn't the gay unwrten, unspoken of homosexuals that any homosexual is willg to have sexual relatns wh any other homosexual, regardls of how attractive he or she is.
