Advice My mother keeps insisting I wear this hoodie, cause she bought it

Post image

I can't stand it, partially because it had something to do with a baby shower which was before I was born anyway

But mostly because it's AI slop, probably made in a sweatshop, and it's not even that warm or comfortable

Any reason I give is instantly shut down, per usual

A bully will find any reason to make fun of you. It’s like saying pride pins and flags are “bully bait”

Pride pins and stuff have a purpose behind them. This is just an ugly monkey pic.

Never really understood the pins and flags, personally. If you're gay just be yourself and be gay. No need for the adornments and trinkets but to each their own, i guess.

At least for me, someone who grew up wear it wasn’t super accepted to be queer, it was a way that I could say “hey, you aren’t alone” to the closeted queer people
