\u201cA short thread from here in Seaside Heights, NJ, where\u2014not so long ago\u2014young men would shout the word \u201cf****t\u201d out their car window as we\u2019d stroll along the boardwalk.\u201d

\u201cLast night, while out for Mother\u2019s Day with our families (read: getting some late-night ice cream because treat yourself!) we noticed a group of rowdy bros gathered on a rooftop bar obnoxiously yelling \u201cKISS HER!\u201d in unison at every apparent couple that passed by.\u201d

\u201cIt was quintessential \u201cJersey Shore\u201d and, unfortunately, several couples obliged the request to raucous cheers thereby further encouraging the rowdiness. We rolled our eyes.\u201d

\u201cIt\u2019s prom season here, so at that time of night you\u2019ll see high schoolers in their formal attire. As we walked by the rooftop bros, an adorable teenage gay couple passed us in perfectly fitting midnight bue tuxes, matching pink ties, holding hands.\u201d

\u201cI looked at Alec (my boyfriend), my mom, my sister, and stopped to make sure the couple was okay as they walked by... worried that something might happen. The rooftop crew quickly switched from \u201cKISS HER!\u201d To \u201cKISS HIM!\u201d\u201d

\u201cAfter some hesitation, the young men kissed... and let me tell you: both the rooftop crew and everyone else on the boardwalk just went absolutely wild for them and we all breathed a sigh of relief.\u201d

\u201cThis is not a \u201clook everything\u2019s fine now, thread,\u201d and yes... it\u2019s New Jersey, but I just thought it was worth sharing and an encouraging moment for young LGBTQ folks out there.\u201d
