Because that’s the way the story of the gay guy and the straight girl is always told, isn’t it? He broke her heart. Poor her. But you were just being who you are.

[clstone]

I’m not sure if many watched this show back in the aughts, or are watching its reboot, but this scene was a terrific moment. A perfect moment not just for a show about the LGBTQIA demographic, but about how often its portrayed in media that the straight person in a gay coming-out story is the victim.How in a lot of these kinds of stories, it’s the straight person that comes at the gay person as hurt, as how they’re betrayed, as how they’re damaged and their reputation matters in the narrative. This episode, and this scene in particular destroys all of that and focuses on that person realizing that, yes, your life is changing as a result of your partner’s decision to come out and your relationship sexually and lovingly is over, you likely do NOT comprehend all that your friend has been, and is still dealing with on the other side. No queer/trans/bi/etc person should ever have to apologize solely for hurting someone because of their sexual orientation. This scene hit me so goddamn hard this week, and trying to explain this feeling to friends this past weekend had me ultimately crying and sobbing to help them understand that coming out and coming to terms with what your life may now hold is one of the most difficult things they will do. Even if you have no interest in Will and Grace and never watch another moment or episode, please understand just how important what is being said here is for millions of people.

Transcript:

Will: We don’t have to talk about it.

Grace: No, we do. I have to. You were tortured. And I never even thought about that. When I got to the part where you write: “Grace, I don’t want to be gay. I just wish I was normal.” …Oh my god, Will. That broke my heart.

And then the part where you said that you were thinking about hurting yourself? I mean, is that true? (Pause) Sweetie?

Will: It was a long time ago.

Grace: Okay, look. This might be 30 years too late. But I just got smart in the last hour. (Audience laughs) You’re right, I didn’t think about your pain. I only thought about mine, because that’s the way the story of the gay guy and the straight girl is always told. Isn’t it?

He broke her heart. Poor her. But you were just being who you are, and you were scared to death that the world was gonna find out and hate you for it.

Will: Wow….You did get smart. (Audience laughs)

Grace: And you were right, it is why I never say “I’m sorry.” And I have been playing the victim. So… I am going to say it now. (Pause)

Grace (emotionally): …Doesn’t it feel good? (Audience laughs)

Will: Still haven’t said it. (Audience laughs)

Grace: I didn’t? Oh! I am sorry. I am sorry for not being there with you. I am sorry, Will. I am sorry for not being there when you needed me most. And I am so, so sorry that I never said this to you before now.

The fact that you are a gay man did not ruin my life. It made it so much better.

Will: Mine too.

(They hug and Audience applauses)

i’m assuming by now you’ve all read about the christian missionary who was killed while trying to convert the uncontacted indigenous north sentinelese tribe in india – which is, in fact, illegal, because the tribe has had absolutely no contact with the outside world and is therefore incredibly vulnerable to foreign contagions and diseases – but what a lot of stories are leaving out is that the guy actually spent several hours on the island, long enough to speak with the members of the tribe and “sing worship songs to them,” before members of the tribe killed him. and he brought along a backpack with some personal possessions, which remained on the island and were handled by members of the tribe. which is to say he fully could have unwittingly infected the tribe with some lethal disease that could wipe all of them out. what kind of narcissistic sociopath.

[beachdeath]

“Police said Chau had previously visited North Sentinel island about four or five times with the help of local fishermen,” journalist Subir Bhaumik, who has been covering the islands for years, told BBC Hindi.

oh sorry it’s actually worse than i thought, he went to the island multiple times with multiple other outsiders, each time increasing the possibility of exposing the tribe to foreign contagions

[beachdeath]

A source with access to handwritten notes that Chau gave to the fishermen to pass on to a friend said that Chau described taking scissors, safety pins and a football as gifts to the tribe.

In his notes, the source said, Chau wrote that some members of the tribe were good to him while others were very aggressive.

“I have been so nice to them, why are they so angry and so aggressive?” the source quoted Chau as saying.

HE BROUGHT SCISSORS??? SAFETY PINS??? ITEMS THAT COULD INJURE THE MEMBERS OF THE TRIBE???

#not to be controversial but this just comes to show that christian colonizers #do not think of these tribes as thinking feeling autonomous people on the same level as them #or on any level at all: #they see these tribes as savages or animals #this could not be more clearly a matter of reaching some kind of ultimate christian trophy #it’s dehumanizing and evil #like the audacity of this colonizer is cartoonish – he loves them and jesus loves them? #give me a break. #no offense but these people have made their laws and it was within their right to kill this fool

Imagine kid you watching your favorite kids’ network. It goes to commercial. Every single time it cuts to commercial this whole thing plays in its entirety. You’ve seen it so much you know every word, every piece of music, all the words and the exact entonation in which they say it

That’s hell. Having the Shirley temple little darling dvd collection commercial permanently ingrained in your brain.

[misscokebottleglasses-deactivat]

it has been many years since i have seen this commercial, and i can recite it word for word. op, what have you done
