I was going to reblog this BEFORE I got to the hilarity of it being on github.  There’s nothing about this that isn’t beautiful.

artists are awesome

my mom loves to lie and like she always swears she was NEVER homophobic or anything to me as a child “i even have a gay work friend” but a really funny memory resurfaced recently where i asked if i could use birthday money i had to buy a rainbow flag when i was like ??? 7?? because i LOVED rainbows. and she said no that means something Evil and god will hate you . so what did i do. but ask my grandmom for a rainbow sweater for christmas and proceed to only wear that sweater for three years when it got cold because i didnt like the idea that god hated colors and i wanted to challenge him

normal 7 year old with religious trauma: oh no god can hear my thoughts and punish me

me: either you are wrong about god or god is wrong and i will fight him and i will be the one to find out

me at 7: he would not fucking say that
