[Video ID and transcript:

TikTok video by mamajillwallace.

A white woman wearing a white tanktop and black-rimmed glasses with her dark hair drawn back.

Woman: *forceful tone* My child just came out as transgender and I’m a Christian mother, so I want you to know how it happens in my house. First we sat down for a talk, so we could fully understand what’s gonna go on around here, and then?

*camera tilts to show a boy in a black t-shirt with grey sleeves, partially shaved short hair, and thick black-rimmed glasses*

Woman: *cheery, loving tone* We went shopping and got a haircut!

*the boy smiles broadly*

Woman: *smiling* This is my son Jayden, isn’t he handsome? *serious, loving tone* I love you. And hey, listen, no matter who you are, if your kid comes out? *hugs her son close* You love ‘em. It’s your job. You’re the parent. /end]

I ACTUALLY CRIED THIS IS SO SWEET AND HE LOOKS JUST LIKE HIS MOM AAAAAAAAH

[willowofthehearth]

*sobs uncontrollably*

I love my Korean dad.

[levonsnape-deactivated20230929]

I love The Golden Girls.

[gholateg]

Ya’ll don’t have any idea how fucking brave and needed these plot lines were.

This was before Ellen came out.

This was before civil unions.

This was before Don’t Ask Don’t Tell.

This was when your ass could be fired, blacklisted, and shunned with no legal protections for even being hinted at being gay.

And the Golden Girls said “Fuck you, Fuck this, we’re doing it anyway.”

[silenthillmutual]

I think it should be noted that Blanche’s quote about AIDS is also “It is not god punishing people for their sins” and that the episode also deals with slutshaming.

[darkravn]

I don’t know if people realize how much activism these women did for gay right and during the aids crisis. If you think about it they were all long established in Hollywood and Broadway. They had tons of friends personally affected and dealing with the aids crisis. Estelle Getty lost a nephew. I think they helped plant seeds in people who watched Golden Girls that helped make things a little more normalized and mainstream.

[jay-kwellyn]

Just reblogging this with my transition on it again cuz I guess a lot of people don’t see this version 🙃

[asettledsky]

Okay, so every single bit of that is impressive as hell.

But I’m definitely most impressed by that first clip where she managed to backflip and land on one foot six times and not snap her ankle in two.

[khadij-al-kubra]

A) she looks so PRETTY! B)that is incredibly impressive, but most importantly C) HOW does she NOT get dizzy?!

[screenqueen71]

Feeling dizzy and everything hurts after watching this.  

She is phenomenal!  In all aspects.

[hey-i-like-writing]

[desertsdaughter]

i recently forgot the word “purgatory” and said “the preparty to hell”

[official-lucifers-child]

forgot the word smoothie earlier and said “when fruit does a deadly dance”, and then said “jam but not cooked”, and then i angrily gestured to the blender and said “when you put the fruit in and say goodbye” anywho today has not been a good day for me

[kingscrown666]

@official-lucifers-child I’m sorry I had to I couldn’t help it I swear my hand slipped! 😂

[official-lucifers-child]

i’m crying

[imfemalewarrior]

I once forgot the word for rising bread so I said “when it gets swole”

-FemaleWarrior

[screenqueen71]

My wife can never remember the term “Dutch Oven” (when referring to cookware) so she’s always asking me, “What’s the pot that’s a fart under a blanket?!”

[vethyourhalflingmother]

my biology professor has such a chaotic energy about him, last week i went to his office hours and somehow we ended up on the topic of gay marriage:

he said that when he lived in texas they changed the law to define marriage as “between a man and a woman in a house of religious worship with the intention to have children” so he filed his taxes as single and when they called him up like “you filed married last year” he was like “you changed the law, i was married by a judge in a courthouse and i have no intention of having kids” and they told him “you know who that law was for” and i guess he hung up on them and did not, in fact, pay taxes as a married man that year

[fromwolfsandgods]

Chaotic good

[swordshapedleaves]

NO! This is Lawful Good! He is following the LAW! Chaotic doesn't just mean cheeky!

[dragkingandreweldritch]

this is like how Sweden stopped classifying homosexuality as an illness because people started a campaign of calling in gay to work

malicious compliance is one of the best tools in the arsenal of civil rights activism

[dracogotgame]

Always reblog for malicious compliance

[weheartchrisevans]

I would like to wish everyone an uneventful new year

welp. i was THISCLOSE to posting an adolescent “i hate everything” post… and then i saw this.

[eilti]

Literally just let this play 8 times in a row and my smile never faltered even once 😁

[vampireapologist-archive-deacti]

This healed me….

[screenqueen71]

39 seconds of pure joy. I needed this today.

The Prom, 3.20

[canadiankazz]

This makes me choke up every time. The unexpected appreciation they show her. Most of her graduating class don’t know she’s the slayer or even what a slayer is, but they do know that Buffy has saved their lives, or at least tried to, many times over the last three years and they wanted to thank her for it and I can’t even…

[booasaur]

[screenqueen71]

I mean, it’s such a versatile word and just add such pizzazz to any conversation.
