Views From The Sips. Love Is A Decision. Not An Emotion. I’ve been sitting here for the past hour, trying to figure out what to write for this entry. It’s been a long ass while since I’ve published anything, and I really wanted to post. Source: Love Is A Decision. Not An Emotion. Squish, The Tea Sipper. June 25, 2016. Love Is A Decision. Not An Emotion. I saw it coming. I felt it. Knew it. Knew what it was when I walked into it, and, still, I feel a way. Love is a decision. So, decide to love someone...

Young Black QT Unfriendly Hottie. Save The Prayers: What The LGBTQIA Community Needs From You. One of my chosen family members Takeallah once said: “I’ll pray for you” means “You’re going to hell but I have sympathy for you”. Ain’t that some shit?

Wasn’t you just praying my gay away last night at supper? Middot; June 13. You are com...

Ever since the historic landmark decision by the Supreme Court to grant same-sex couples marriage equality in the country (June 26, 2015), there has been a mix of reactions and emotions around the country, and Facebook has been a microcosm of that, which I’ve observed, almost ad nauseam, all week. What I WILL...

I Remember You Was Conflicted… – Views From The Sips

Views From The Sips. I Remember You Was Conflicted…. July 3, 2015. 8230;that awkward moment when intersectionality meets Facebook. Sigh. The jubilation of Friday’s historic decision quickly gave way to outrage, disgust, disbelief, and just flat-out hate (read: jealousy). It quickly went from being about making the country a little more equitable to “They have more rights than we do! Is complete bullshit, and I’m pissed that somebody really had the unmitigated gall and audacity to take a picture so ...
