So I will do that now...
So I was on MediaTakeOut and they had an article about Gwen Stefani and her son Kingston. If you don't feel like checking out the link I'll just tell you the title. "Pics: Gwen Stefani Got Her 6 Year-Old Son A Pedicure...Painted His Toe Nails!! (Is It Time For Child Services Yet)." Now before I get into my opinion on the "article" (I use that term loosely) I'll start by saying that I know that MediaTakeOut is (for lack of better words) a "shit-starting" blog. They do nothing but stir up shit, and most of it ends up being false information anyways. But this article really got to me. I remember reading a few other articles about Gwen and her son that were pretty much the same as this. They either insinuate she's a bad parent or that she's forcing her son to be a homo because she is completely accepting of how he wants to express himself. Now I don't know 100% concrete facts about Gwen's family because I don't personally know them , but I can safely assume that how her son dresses and how his hair is and all that stuff isn't something that's being FORCED. I doubt it's really even being thought about as much as other people are thinking about it. I personally love this kids style, I wish I had that much swag when I was 6 years old (hell I wish I had that much swag NOW, at 19 years old.
The thing that I hate the most is that I don't just hear this stuff online. It's no secret that MediaTakeOut is catered to a black audience, and I have no problem with that. It's also no secret that I'm [half] black myself, which again, I have no problem with that [obviously lol]. But the thing that bothers me is that I hear this argument ALL the time. I know it's not JUST in the black community, but I feel the voice is much stronger within the black community. There literally isn't a day that goes by that I don't hear some kind of "rule" about what a boy can't do because it'll "make him a girl" or a "sissy" or "gay". There's like this box that people are so afraid to let themselves travel out of. It's like if you are someone who expresses themselves in a way that isn't JUST like what "men" are supposed to do...you're gay and your parents are wrong for letting it happen. While Willow Smith is PRAISED for being so different. While people are quick to joke around about Jayden Smith's sexuality because he wears animal print skinny jeans. Both children are doing the exact same thing [expressing themselves and being individuals] but the outcomes are seen differently.
It kills me to see people question a CHILD'S [or anyone else's] sexuality just because they are different from the "norm". I'm not completely innocent when it comes to this. If I see someone [mostly older people who aren't children] who is either a guy who is into "girly" stuff or a girl who is a tomboy I'll wonder [to myself] about their sexuality. I'll never deny that. I've always said that I AM a judgmental person, but I don't let my initial judgments of someone prevent me from getting to know who they actually are. I've met guys who say they are straight but are into Nicki Minaj and Lady Gaga and watch Glee and wear skinny jeans and have REALLY good hair, and yeah I might have the thought "you're definitely a homo" in the back of my head at first, if he tells me that he's straight and he's into girls...I'll 100% respect that and believe it. Though I have been in the situation where a guy cries straight then it's 2am and we're texting or IM'ing and he automatically becomes "curious" about gay stuff, then the next thing I know it he has 3 ex boyfriends and enjoys a stiff dick down his throat. So even though there are those cases where my judgments become valid, I don't validate them myself. I let the person validate them for me.
It seems that it's every day that a homo is crying that the world needs to be more accepting, but the cries are legit. The world DOES need to be more accepting. Hell, it doesn't even have to go that far. The world needs to just mind their fucking business. A lot more people would be happier if they quit stressing and ranting about what other people are doing with themselves. If people spent less time putting other people down. If we all just minded our own fucking business, it really wouldn't matter if a man goes home and blows his boyfriend until the sun comes up. It wouldn't matter if a chick goes home and muff dives while her gf watches Grey's Anatomy. It wouldn't matter if that hot chick at the bar has a dick that she spent all afternoon tucking to perfection. Shit just WOULDN'T MATTER because we'd all be too busy worrying about our fucking selves instead of crying that Gwen Stefani is a bad parent just because her son is HAPPILY walking down the street with painted toenails.
