When I think back to when my sister and I were growing up, I thought of myself more of a tomboy, like I wouldn’t wear dresses,shirts at all and I also shaved my hair short, where people called me a boy andMy sister was the polar opposite. She was the one dressed in pink and sparkling dresses and she would acted like she didn’t want to get dirty. Over the years, I still have some of my tomboy’s traits, but I have change slowing like I started to wear dresses. My sister on the other hand did change throughout the years.
When she was in middle school, she started to hang more with a girl in her grade, but I just thought it was a good friend of hers, but then I started to hear around the school that she was telling people that she was her girlfriend. I went home that night and was going to ask her; It’s not like I would disown her as my sister; I don’t care if she is gay. I wish she would have told me. I shouldn’t have found out by everyone else. I felt like when I was in middle school, my view of what a relationship was a boy and girl, But with today social media, celebrity’s showing that its ok to be in a relationship with a girl or a boy it doesn’t matter if they are gay or straight and even bisexual.
Now a days with social media and celebrities being a big influence on people lives. I would say that celebrities have a massive impact on young age kids because they are all over the news and on social media. Some celebrities are open about their sexuality. For example, Sam Smith is an English singer and songwriter. Sam Smith is one of the most famous and celebrated openly gay singers in the world. He says in an interview with Ellen DeGeneres that he came out at a young age of four. Speaking of Ellen DeGeneres, she is also a gay celebrity, she “coming out” on an episode of “Ellen” airs in 1997, in a widely publicized episode of the ABC sitcom Ellen, TV character Ellen Morgan (played by Ellen DeGeneres) announces that she is gay. She has a massive impact on people because she has her show and talks about it with no problem. There is one celebrity that have been going through a time right know is Halsey. She has been an outspoken about being bisexual. One time she has written a twitter “So if I’m dating a guy I’m straight, and if I date a woman, I’m a lesbian. “The only way to be a #True bisexual is to date 2 people at once. “Just from this post her supporters and it has shown a different light on bisexual. Have been live by that and these are just a couple of good examples, but their are tons of celebrity that supports the gay community.
I believe that social media influences the growing in the ad’s agency; I see more and more gay couples. Not just in ads but also in article or another social media platform. The world is evolving slowly. More people are starting to agree with gay couples, but there will always be people that don’t agree. Even with people not accepting gay, bisexual but not about that it’s about them and how they should be able to live the life they want, and that why I’m ok with my sister dating whoever she wants. I will still love her,no matter what.
