You know, growing up in art school, you know, in high school, it was the first time I saw like men like boys, like we were in junior year, like going together, like holding hands in school in case any stuff happens. But I didn't want to judge them. They were talented, you know what I mean? And so there was this understanding and what it's called, you know, just not judgment about it. Yeah, yeah. So I was always been, you know, non-judgment about people's sexuality. But, you know, people that you've seen that you would not assume, you know, doing compromising things. Right. You know, I'm saying, boot up. You know, I'm, you know, you know, you know, you my brother, I ain't gonna boot up with you, bro. You know what I'm saying?

We ain't going to be sitting too close on the county. No, bro. No, bro. No, bro. We're not sharing part, bro. We're gonna have to have a seat. Okay. We should be surprised, right?
