I think it it could be a really great for our relationship AND the LGBT community --- especially the G!

Can you imagine? A new picture of #TwoMenKissing dropping every day on America's timeline for an entire year? Specifically us? I think it would go a long way towards what I believe is one of the most important issues of our generation: prejudce and being biased.

My boyfriend doesn't see it the same way. In fact, he doesn't see at all (blindness). Last year i did a similar photo series to raise awareness around vision impairment (his) and it was a big success for me.

Me in french is Moi.....and boy is moi disappointed by his reluctance to participate! #paris

He just doesn't think it will have impact and I'm like ummm????????? its giving idiotiqué

Regardless, I will respect whatever decision he makes about showcasing our love online to challenge norms. He is my Partner after all….

Mike Hadreas, in my bedroom, with that sentence. I am DECEASED.

Try not to be too hurt by it. I know personally that some people don't like to have pictures taken. My Mom has pictures of me crying, begging her not to take pictures of me (when I was old enough to speak) & and flipping her the middle finger (when I was older). From birth and I'm 53 yrs old now. I have just always hated it. Always been a very private person. Maybe it's the same for your BF. So don't take it so hard, it sounds like a great idea maybe you can get some other couple you know to do it or better yet, maybe you could get your fans to post it daily with #4you.
