F*cked up color theory:
It’s something about color that can make folk act very……...
Violet!
Indigo!
Blue!
It’s something about color that can make folk act very……...flamboyant.
Oh you don’t believe me? You don’t think our flag has all those colors for nothing now do you? Us gays have much use in this very opinionated and often closed-minded world. You see…… we are PERFORMERS! ARTIST! MUSES IN A MODERN TIME FRAME! The way I see it......when you need your house to become a home, what type of man is usually there to decorate? When your clothes could do better, who snatches you into excellence? When you’re ready to paint the town red, what better person than he who has submerged themselves into color so that they can beat your face into perfection, and make the others gag at your beauty? It is us, the colorful, and honey it is through these colors that we excel.
Green...
Yellow…
Orange...
Red…
It’s something about color that can make folk act very……..fickle.
Oh you don’t believe me? You see it’s these colors that make us who we are no matter how we show it. They’re not just some place over the rainbow….. they’re in your face; you breathe it, you live it....To be colorful is okay when we’re doing your hair. It’s okay when we’re crafting your clothes. It’s fantastic when we’re creating the latest slang, yet many still have the nerve; no….. the audacity to deny human rights to those who have lived somewhere inside of the rainbow....now that's some f*cked up color theory.
Brown.
It’s something about color that can make folk act very………formidable.
Oh you don’t believe me? Well, for us brown men that love to play in color; life can be a bit overwhelming. Brown… The color of stability, fullness and history, yet many fear to use it as a focal point. Rather, they accept brown to be typically used for making other tones pop. That’s color for you...sometimes you don’t know when or how it will affect you. But trust me...in this world, seeing the true effects of color are just three heel clicks away.
Next time you see that brown man that loves to play in color…think more of him. I challenge you to associate him with the nourishment of our earth...instead of just plain shit. Because there’s something about color that can make folk act very……. f*cked up.

I always thought my throat chakra was clogged. Turns out a Diamond lives there; spuing out light in a multitude of angles. Most people speak in one color and I tried to do that, but the diamond living in my throat made it impossible.

Miniature Mind Musings #8:
Recently, I spoke with a family member who I struggled to catch up with for a longer timespan than I would’ve liked and what struck me was how societal templates filled in on successive days routinely suck our time into a vacuum of seemingly infernal deficiency.
