You know why you didn&#8217;t know that? because October is all about Halloween&#8230;no gives sh*t about anything else.\u00a0 What am I supposed to do? dress like Mussolini for Halloween?<\/p>\n<p>This is Bullsh*t!\u00a0 Yeah, I see you..laughing up your sleeve at the rest of us. &#8220;haha, these breeders left June wide open!&#8221; How the f*ck did no one else pick JUNE? You get the best month, you annexed the rainbow as a symbol somehow, and I&#8217;ll say something else&#8230;STOP ADDING F*CKING LETTERS TO YOUR NAME. It used to just be LGB, then it was LGBT&#8230;now I guess it&#8217;s LGBTQ?\u00a0 are there any other letters you wanna add?!\u00a0 Just get it over with and take them all, why don&#8217;t ya?! Just take ALL the letters, ALL the nice weather, ALL the best concerts&#8230;What the f*ck is Q doing there anyway?!\u00a0 Doesn&#8217;t Queer pretty much cover the whole thing?\u00a0 I&#8217;m not an expert, but to the general population &#8220;queer&#8221; pretty much blankets the whole thing.\u00a0 Q&#8230;that&#8217;s all you should get.\u00a0 Q and Tuesday through Thursday in early March, when it&#8217;s still cold out.\u00a0\u00a0 I don&#8217;t give a sh*t about who you can marry, I want a decent month for my nationality, I want to not have to remember another letter got tacked onto your name every two weeks, and I want to stop not being able to see the best bands because the ticket prices are two high because they are playing at some LGBTQXYZ event and you all have more disposable income than I do because you didn&#8217;t make any of the sh*tty life choices that I did.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;enjoy your month.<\/p>\n<p>HMPF!<\/p>\n<p>_______________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"auto-style300\">Never miss a blog!
