The Lack of Stress

Billie Bob Taylor 

The lack of stress and backlash was what was stressing me the most. I wanted drama. I wanted to fight for my pride and kick some ass in the process but now everything was quiet. 

There was more confusion on whether the videos existed for real because they had disappeared as soon as they surfaced. My parents told me most people back home thought it was fake news and did not really entertain the idea, because I was Billie Bob, the man of ninety, the legend himself and the man everyone wanted to be. To them there was no way I could be gay, I was surely just drunk. 

Only if they knew the only alcohol I tasted was from Benedito's lips, we were getting married in two months and I was pregnant. Maybe that would be the big wakeup call but I knew it would never even surface. Benedito did have a point about not having things flying on the internet and in a sense I felt better my coming out left more people confused than hateful.
