Queer Beauty

I am grateful to @thehairnerds for asking me to be apart of this project.
・・・
Sometimes we anguish over a “secret” that we are afraid the world won’t accept... that the world won’t allow us to live... will we lose our friends and family? That fear haunts many in the queer community.
As it turns out, often times they already know and love you. @derekjhair shares his experience navigating coming out and how probeauty gave him a space to express himself and flourish.
This is the face of Queer Beauty.

Derek Jae you are absolutely beautiful! I love u! Thank you for being you.

[@robthetruth5695]

A friend of mine who is very masculine and accomplished just told me he is gay!! I told him I knew it. He asked how and I told him....well...your 45, never been married, no kids and I've never seen you date a woman! He was shocked! I told him a few of our mutual friends already figured it out and you are still very Kool with us!! Live and let live!

[@anitanelson7494]

I am so happy for you be blessed enjoy your life accomplish

[@zakeebanks9757]

Trust me I know lots of man that could fit that description who are not gay. Isn’t that the problem right there that people automatically presume you have to be gay if you fit the criteria you listed

[@LittleTut]

Yes, that's how it pretty much goes. :))

[@PattyAnnee]

Absolutely Wonderful!!

[@shaylaws1148]

That was a beautiful story🤎 Thank you for sharing! #subscribed

[@jamesmyles2830]

I don’t know who we have to get in contact with but you my good sir…… Need a show!!! I have been watching everything that you’ve posted it for the past three months and I am absolutely 100% captivated by the content. You are really stepping outside of the box and introducing a conversation that needs to be had and that needs to be heard. I’ve watched you on the real housewives of Atlanta for years and honestly I did not think you had the level of depth that you are expressing only because we would see you for a small little segments. I am so glad that you’ve had the courage to start producing this content!!

Wow almost cried. Well spoken and thanks for the explanation that you didn’t have to provide. I hope living and speaking your truth will bring you peace and joy.

[@zakeebanks9757]

I really enjoyed your emotional video..........I truly wish we all would reach to a place where we no longer feel the need to refer to clothing as male or female but just see them as items of clothing use by the person who looks absolutely fabulous wearing/using them whether that be male or female.
