I watched a movie on Netflix today called Out In the Line-Up.It's a documentary about surfers who are gay and the struggles that they had to deal with in that community. Actually, currently I am watching it as I am typing this. It is actually interesting in hearing about how much people in the surfing industry. A lot of the things that surfers have said on there is that it's really taboo to be gay in the surfing community. That everyone just talked about surfing so no one really knew if anyone was gay because they just didn't talk about it.
I would think that this would be a good thing because being gay is not an issue and that people just don't care to know if you are gay or not, you are just a like-minded person getting along and loving what you do. That's how society should be, not so curious and prying into peoples personal lives. If you were on the way to becoming a good friend of mine, then eventually I wouldn't mind if they asked or they would probably find out soon anyway. Honestly, who cares? Why is being gay such a taboo thing nowadays? There are so many people out who commit suicide because of non-acceptance. Why would you want that to happen to someone because you feel that it's against your morals? You are not that person and they do not reflect you. If you don't want to be friends or even be acquainted with a gay person, just omit yourself. There's no room for hate in my book.
It's 2015 and being gay is something to embrace. You should hug that gay person that you meet out randomly. They have probably been through hell in their life. You never know what is going with someone in their life. They don't know what going on in yours. So why hate on someone just because of their orientation? It's almost like being gay is becoming the new thing after racism. And that still exists in this world. Although, those things will probably never go away, it would be nice if it were more socially accepted.

It's been a long time
It's been a long time, shouldn't have left you, left you without a dope beat to step to, to step to, to step to...
Okay, sorry about my lame Aaliyah snippet right there. How have you guys been doing? I know it has been a long time... over two years since the last time I posted on here. Hopefully, in the next few months, I will be posting more and more on here. I have had a lot of time on my hands to think about my life and I want to share it as well as the knowledge I have with the world.
As you can see, I've updated my blog, just a little bit. I've changed the name from Writings of a Prodigy, to Hashtag Gay. The reason for that is because if you guys know me... which some of you do. You know that on my Instagram, which is @adreyyy so go follow me... ;), all of my pictures I tag with #gay. It's like my thing. Everyone who I know always asks me, "Why do you always tag #gay?". I don't really know why I do that. I think it's probably because I'm an attention whore, which I don't downplay at all and I own, but it could be because there's so many things in my life that are gay that I like to put out there.
I like labels. Okay, maybe I don't but I have accepted labels. We put labels on everything. From the color of a crayon to the color of someone skin. Everything and everyone has a label. You have a label when they decide to name you before you pop out of your mother's womb. But when it comes to people, and really a majority of people, when you put a label on them they rebel or get their feelings hurt. Being called a faggot is hurtful but asking if someone is gay shouldn't be. Why not have a gay marriage? It's still a marriage, it's just categorized for certain people.
Being gay is not a choice. It's about as optional as the culture you are born into. Some people love it, some people hate it. The truth of the matter is, we all should accept it for what it is and move on with our lives. Putting 'gay' out there is shedding light on the fact that there are people out there who don't identify with everyone else, but do at the same time. We as a society need to break down these barriers and be happy with who we are and with the people all around us.
This blog is not a new one but an evolving one so I changed the name because I am evolving too. Hashtag gay is me. I am #gay.
I plan on updating this blog at least once a week for a month to get back into the fold. It's going to be able my thoughts on what it means to be gay, updates in my life, interests that I have and more. I'm really excited to get back into writing good and solid content for you and I hope that you will be with me for a long time. Here is to next week.
