Thank you @welcomemntungwa, people make jokes about straight relationships too, so why are the LGBTXYZ people always easily triggered?"

"It baffles me how the same people championing freedom of speech are also the same people championing cancel culture."
@MandiQHA added:
"Thank you Rami for sticking to your word, thank you for your integrity and support to the LGBTQI+ community."
