‘’I mean I know.They are my guys. I am moving up to a girl and they are doing their thing…you know? They are my people. They are both male and female. I love them to de@th. I have nothing against them whatsoever but I am not going to agree to something that I am not. For me, let God judge.

If it is my sexuality, I would own it and I will be one of the hottest around. I will own it with my full chest. I was shocked and who they said was my boyfriend was the shocking part”
