A. The shirt itself goes very hard.

B. Usually I roll my eyes when people talk about the whole "Alpha/Beta Energy" BS, but this actually has me rethinking that entire POV. Sometimes just being brave enough to be yourself, whether it's in the deep south or anywhere else, takes a lot of balls. ❤️

Well, in case you were being serious, the point i was responding to was the 'if it's obvious to everyone that she's gay, then wearing a shirt with a shirt boating about it is somehow a little cringe'.

My point was both that just because someone looks stereotypically gay doesn't mean they are, so it's fair to wear a shirt proudly admitting it, even if it is a little over the top. The earlier comment about it being similar to sometimes Uncle wearing a shirt offering 'mustache rides' is completely off the mark since that is more of a crude case of a man trying to either boat about his manliness, or defect implications that he's gay.

These shirts are basically leaning into the 'f-you, this is who i am', unless they were specifically wearing them to a lesbian meet up hoping to impress other girls with the words on their shirt. If that were the case then it would match almost exactly to the mustache rides example.
