Why is 2k so gay
Just like we don’t opt who we love, we don’t choose the iconic blockbuster hits of our youth that go on to build up and break down our conceptions of love, relationships, and sexuality. I grew up in rural Texas, in a town so tiny the high school marching band played when the Home Depot opened. I was surrounded by people who thought they were, pretended to be, or actually were straight. My social calendar was filled with Young Life invites and pep rallies for our dismal football team. I was mainly raised by my closeted male lover dad in a homophobic family and I wouldn’t come out myself until I was twenty-three and 2,000 miles away. I look forward to watching the current queer youth grow up with JoJo Siwa and Janelle Monáe to model all the different prefixes to the word “sexual” but for me, queer representation was practically nonexistent. I took what I could obtain, and that was Meg Ryan.
When people ask me about my sexuality, I say things like: “the friendship to relationship pipeline is big with me” and “I wasn’t interested at all until I read their writing” or “heard her voice” or “saw his passion for esoteric intramural sports” or one of those other million things that draws you
Rudy Gay Flips Out Over His 'NBA 2K' Rating: It's a 'Crock of BS'
It’s probably safe to say that just about every NBA player in the entire league thinks that his NBA 2K rating is too small. Even LeBron James, who leads the league with a 97 rating, is probably wondering what else he has to act to get those three extra points added. And it’s become customary for NBA players to address out against their ratings when they are released in the weeks head up to the begin of a season. Just recently, we saw John Wallget into it with a 2K employee over his rating, which is high but apparently not high enough for the Wizards star.
Rudy Gay is the latest NBA player to come out and publicly disagree with where he falls on the list of the leading 2K players in the league. On Tuesday nighttime, the official @NBA2K Twitter account released a list of the 10 highest-rated small forwards in NBA 2K18.
And as you can see, Gay didn’t descend on the list. That’s partly because the list is filled with guys who deserve to be there over Gay—and partly because Gay only played in 30 games last season due to injury, which no doubt knocked him down a couple notches in the ratings th
Alive but Gay — For @kosmatish ! Congrats on 2K followers! I love...
Alright. I watched Elio. Time to be mad.
⚠️ Rant. There are no spoilers about the show. I don’t even talk about the plot.
This movie was pretty good! Was it the greatest of all time? No, and it shouldn’t have to be. … Should it have still gotten a Petty more attention? Yeah. Me, my small brothers, and my roommate were the only ones that were in the theater room. Permit me be clear; I’m not mad at the show or the team who animated it.
I’m mad at the marketing team.
I barely saw ads for this movie, favor at all. I got one ad a couple times spaced out a couple of months while I was watching YouTube, and I haven’t exactly had the day to be on YouTube the last couple of months. It played once before a alternative movie I saw in theaters. I watched the ad for Topo Chico - a sparkling water product - 5x more than Elio’s, and that was only last night when I was having trouble sleeping. I saw the Elemental ad more before that movie came out, and people were talking about how rarely they saw ads for it.
I’m also mad at the “critics” on Twitter.

Marvin Gaye and his father had the relationship you wouldn’t wish on your worst enemy.
Since early on, Marvin Pentz Gay Jr. and Marvin Sr. didn’t see eye to eye on much. Marvin Sr. ran the house, as his son referred to, “like a King,” with ever changing tempers, whims, and desires. His father beat him frequently, and was generally abusive to the entire family.
And when Marvin Jr. – with vocal talent and a whole lot of moxy – got out of the service, he had the breakthrough of a lifetime. After singing at Motown Records’ founder Berry Gordy’s home, Gay was offered a contract with Tamla Records, a subsidiary of Motown. At that point Marvin decided a change for his last name was in order; NOT just because of the idea that having the last name “Gay” would identify him as homosexual (which was much more taboo in the early 60s), but because he wanted to distance himself from his father.
(See, not necessarily what you were thinking.)
The name switch certainly made him a name we’ll never forget.
Rest in Peace, Marvin Gaye. Thank you for making our world SO much more musically adventurous.

The only thing that has kept me going is synonyms sprints. You are put against someone else and for a short period of time, you type as much as you can, trying to pound the other person. You then travel back and revise what you wrote and rearrange things.
Right now I am sprinting by myself, just trying to get some inspiration down on the page.
