Yesterday my mom posted a picture on Facebook of my 5 year old brother Sam wearing a pair of shoes he picked out for his first day of preschool.
She explained to him in the store that they were really made for girls. Sam then told her that he didn’t care and that “ninjas can wear pink shoes too.”
Sam went to preschool and got several compliments on his new shoes. Not one kid said anything negative toward him about it.However, my mom received about 20 comments on the photo from various family members saying how “wrong” it is and how “things like this will affect him socially” and, put most eloquently by my great aunt, “that shit will turn him gay.”
My mom then deleted the photo and told Sam that he can wear whatever he wants to preschool, that it’s his decision. If he wants to wear pink shoes, he can wear pink shoes.
Sam then explained to her that he didn’t like them because they were pink, he liked them because they were “made out of zebras” and zebras are his favorite animal :)
What does it say about society when a group of adults could stand to take a lesson in humanity from a class of preschoolers?

Tell me he doesn’t look sad. Tell me he doesn’t look broken. He looks like he’s been crying and honestly it hurts me to see him sad. It’s not fair for him or for Harry. I hate this, I hate that they have to hide and I just hope nothing happens to either of them. Because Louis been looking like he’s done with everything, and it pains me!
The fact that this is the 3rd time we’ve seen him absolutely broken in less than a week…. terrifies/kills/infuriates me.
dont make me talk about it
And honestly if you don’t think this has anything to do with Harry you tell me why he looks like he is about to burst into tears.
don’t look at me. i have feelings in my eyes.
nobody touch me
