“when your little girl
asks you if she’s pretty
your heart will drop like a wineglass
on the hardwood floor
part of you will want to say
of course you are, don’t ever question it
and the other part
the part that is clawing at
you
will want to grab her by her shoulders
look straight into the wells of
her eyes until they echo back to you
and say
you do not have to be if you don’t want to
it is not your job
both will feel right
one will feel better
she will only understand the first
when she wants to cut her hair off
or wear her brother’s clothes
you will feel the words in your
mouth like marbles
you do not have to be pretty if you don’t want to
it is not your job” —

Picture this. You have the chance to ask a question to The Leader Of Our Country. And you decide to push them about whether their partner is gay.
Your proof is that he’s a hairdresser.
Your proof is probably also the fact that you think there’s something weird about…
The media in this country is fucking ridiculous.

You are not obliged.
Repeat after me: you do not owe anyone, anything, ever.
