My Cheer thread: Like I met @cher tonight. I talked to her. I didn’t know what to say and my https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Rotes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Rotes Herz"> took over and I started off with “I’m gay, your Cher” and then I thanked her for all she has done for queer folx especially queer youth.

Then Cher, I repeat, CHER reassured ME & every single other queer person on zoom in order to make us feel accepted, safe & welcome. She proceeded to tell us about first gay men she met as a kid. She said that at the age of twelve she realized some people are ugly lmfaooo

Then Cher told us about first lesbian woman she ever met. She called her a bitch. I gay laughed, almost nobody else did https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😬" title="Grimasse schneidendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Grimasse schneidendes Gesicht">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😅" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit offenem Mund und Angstschweiß" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit offenem Mund und Angstschweiß">. But there’s a reason why this is so important. Cher doesn’t need to “prove” how big ally she is. Anyone who says otherwise can put up or shut up

She doesn’t owe anybody anything. Cher is a gotdamn miracle & it was casual. CASUALLY Cher talks about LGBTQIA+ folx that she met as a kid. She saw them as human. Kids are so smart. They know love is love and Cher has held onto that ever since.
