Billie Eilish "Wish You Were Gay": Baby, I don't feel so good Six words you never unrstood I'll never let you go Five words you'll ne... * i said you were gay *
DeSantis expand his “Don’t Say Gay” law this year, and the Florida Board of Edutn voted Wednday for l that took even further — cludg by barrg teachers om askg stunts their preferred pronouns.
I n’t remember what was said, but was somethg along the l of “I always knew you were gay. By the time I had e out to my iends, I had met so many special, diverse people wh the LGBTQ muny, that his sgular unrstandg of what meant to be gay—which he eely applied to me even when I said I was bisexual—erased the nuance of queer inti.
