"What You Eat Don't Make Me Shit"



B. Scott is a fabulous firecracker of a man. For those who do not know who B. Scott is, he is an avid video blogger who has gained fame across the worldwide web. He has even gained so much recognition that he has been recently involved in the NOH8 campaign in California to combat Proposition 8. I was put onto B. Scott awhile ago by a good friend, but recently I have regained my interest in his vlogs starting with the above video.

B. Scott definitely gets things off of his chest as the title describes. Many of the points that he brought up is exactly how I--amongst other LGBT people--feel about the views of homosexuals. It's so crazy how some heterosexual men and women figure that just because a person is gay or lesbian, they automatically want to "convert" them; it's so crazy how some heterosexual men and women quote the Bible calling homosexuality an "abomination" when they commit sin by going to Red Lobster and ordering the shellfish specials. People need to open their eyes and see that we (the LGBT community) are just as much human as anyone and everyone else. As B. Scott boldly said, "judge people by the merit of their character." It is not about who a person sleeps with at night or loves in the morning; it is about the kindness and good in their hearts and in their being.

Another quote that touched me specifically *made me die laughing too only because of the deliverance lol* was "What you eat, don't make me shit." This is completely true. Why the hell do we lead our lives worrying about what others have to think and say about it? We should be able to live and let live, do us and say "fuck what you think, I'm finna do me." I take this to the heart because periodically in my life, I get those people who ask "why must you dress like this?" and "why must you do that?" What do I have to say to these people now? What you eat don't make me shit.

So find the time to watch the above video. Whether you are gay, straight, bi, try, whatever just watch the video and be enlightened. Trust me, it is not a waste of eleven minutes. You will indeed walk away with another outlook on who you are; on who I am.
