Amy, hey dad. I'm gay. Oh my God that is so funny. I'm also gay I was going to tell you.

Wait really? Yeah.

And you're listening to dating straight.

Hey Amy, Hey Jack, and hey everyone else listening.

Yeah.

Today obviously else listening. Yeah. Today, obviously, well first of all today is Friday, May 29th in the morning when we are filming this right now and if you guys have I don't

know any political I mean you don't even have to be political to like if you have

Twitter yeah yeah you will obviously have seen what's been going on in America

right now and I feel like we have to talk about that.

But I think this is an important topic today.

Yeah.

So. Yeah, so yeah, I guess trigger warning. This is going to be tough to talk about, sort of addressing what's going on in America, racism, but I think it's important to talk about and also to listen to especially if you're not black

would really change in our lives yeah but a lot of people don't have that

luxury of course.

And so I think that's why this is important to talk about.

I wish we sort of had a guest on who was black also who could speak to this but unfortunately

we just couldn't make that happen right now and obviously we can't speak to like the black experience And obviously I really do feel I've been seeing a lot of

our struggles are not the same as gay people like I would never pretend that they are the same

But I honestly I really do feel I've been seeing a lot of tweets about this and I feel like

silence is violence right now and not speaking up is it's just not an option. It's not just yeah it's just not what's
