'The Old Gays' Is My Favorite Discovery In 2019

The year is just starting but these four men have won me over.

'The Old Gays' Is My Favorite Discovery In 2019

Though this series began last year, "The Old Gays" have barely appeared on my suggestion videos.

The group is composed of four men in their 60s to 70s. Bill, Jessay, Robert and Mick show off their charming personalities wonderfully in each and every video.

Though I, like them, don't consider myself a gayby, I also found myself taken back by many of the new generation slang they had to read. RuPaul is considered gay culture due to its mainstream popularity and positive representation but I have yet to watch a single episode. Many gay terms did begin on the show, however, and made its way to nonviewers like me.

INTO has brought four strangers together with one common self-identification and has introduced them to a worldwide audience. Watching these delightful men be authentic and talk about living full happy lives in time more oppressing then today gives hope to a younger generation.

If it doesn't make you smile to watch them judge our new gay slang then watching them play Cards Against Humanity will.

"The Old Lesbian" series, also found on Intomore's channel, is humorous and heartwarming to watch.

They too try to guess new gay slang and react to the queer community, but they also have videos of coming out stories that may hit home to many viewers.

Lesbian Culture consists of listening to Lesbian Jesus (Hayley Kiyoko). A whole video was created around the singer's videos and another where "The Old Lesbians" met the "Girls Like Girls" singer.

Having these older men and women put themselves out there and representing the community as they have is wonderful.

The comment section in every video from these series are filled with coming out stories and supportive responses. "You give me hope for my future. Thank you." reads a comment from a viewer.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
