Your gender identity and sexual/romantic orientation (or lack thereof) is not a betrayal to your family. It is not a choice you made - it is a part of who you are. Your family can accept it or not, but their acceptance does not dictate your truth.

You are beautiful. You are amazing. You are not in the wrong for being who you are.

I love you, and I am proud of you.

In it’s purest, most honest form, Rap music and Hip Hop have always reflected social narratives where Black people have told our own, unvarnished narratives. Colloquial Black journalism. Stories about us, by us. This has been true from the Sugar Hill Gang, to Tupac & Biggie, to Lauryn Hill, to Nas, to Lupe Fiasco, to Jay Z, to Sista Souljah, to Beyoncé. Congratulations to Kendrick Lamar on a well deserved Pulitzer Prize. This makes up for that time Macklemore “won” best rapper. (I am now patiently waiting for Beyoncé to win a Pulitzer Prize for Lemonade).
