    Thank you for backing me up, I feel a little silly for that one comment because I totally crashed out lol. I honestly just was angry because I am a non binary and I like men, and this pathetic troll keeps literally searching up lgbtq podcasts so he can hate comment on them. I honestly feel bad for him, because he must have a pretty hard life to be hating on others like that. I’m glad there are people like you in the world. Also, HAPPY PRIDE MONTH MY LGBTQIA FRIENDS!!!

  • I agree with “supporter of all😎”

    U are totally right, supporter of all! Pride isn’t a sin, it’s something magical… something amazing! Me my self I am a aromantic, asexual, and a nonbinary! In my thoughts, anyone is aloud to be who they want to be! Also, ignore supercharbos, he has literally no idea what he talking about, he does comments like this all the time, he is just jelous.
