April Fools just happened, and I guess it’s a new thing now for websites on the internet on computers to have their own April Fools pranks. The sites usually prank their visitors by making the site terrible for the whole day. I love a good joke, don’t get me wrong, I enjoy when sites get to loosen up a little bit and have some fun, and I like pranks. I even stuck a tiny piece of cilantro to my friend once, and it’s still stuck to him and probably will be until his dies. Then me and his family can have a good laugh at his funeral about this lifelong prank (the best kind of prank).
So as you can see, I love pranks. I go apeshit for pranks. But this is going too far. After April Fool’s day, my status has been listed as “Dead and Gay” on Facebook, and it has not yet reverted back. Facebook has caused me and my family a great deal of grief. For example when my status changed, I wrote it off as a prank and went about my day. However, the longer it stayed, the more I began to worry that I was actually, truly, dead and gay. Of course, there is no problem with a man choosing to come out as gay, however, as a Bisensual individual, it caused me a great deal of confusion. Did I die and then become a gay ghost? Did I become gay and then die? Can ghosts even be gay? These are just some of the questions I asked myself. I began to question that I was even alive. It was horrible. As I walked down the street, I began noticing no one looked at me. “Oh no...” I thought. “What if it’s true? Can anyone see me?” Turns out they were averting their eyes because I was shirtless, but how was I supposed to know that? Also, I just want to say that my parents were very worried during this whole period.
So please, I implore you. Do not give Facebook your business. Do not support this horrible prank. PS If this shows up as just a ghostly blank article please email me. I’m still very worried.
