This afternoon, we were lucky enough to get our 50,000th Facebook follower and… in all honesty… we flipped out.
First we were all like:
Then we were all like:
We got so rowdy that people starting looking at us like:
(whatever, haters)
It took us a while to calm down:
But now that we have, we wanted to say: Hi, to all our new followers:
And that we love you all!!
We’ve been seeing a lot of letters lately from parents to their gay/possibly gay/not-even-born-yet children and we had an idea. Since not everyone is so lucky to come out to such supportive parents, would you be interested in writing a letter/tweet/note to those who didn’t get that kind of support?
So many of us didn’t come out to hugs, or preemptive notes in the kitchen, but we have each other.
You can write the letter you’d always wished you’d gotten or the letter you’d wished you’d written but missed your chance.
Here’s how you can share your letter with us:
1) You can tweet your lost letter to us at @huffpostgay. Be sure to use the hashtag #lostletters
2) You can email your letter to us at gayvoices@huffingtonpost.com
If you want to include an image, PLEASE DO! We love pictures :-)
