Only God knows what I went through today and it's going to stay that way. 🙏

So I'm just now finding out BET wouldn't allow @lovebscott to wear heels and now I fux with them even less. Didn't think that was possible.

Word around Twitter is the BET tapped internet celebrity B. Scott to work The BET Awards red carpet. However, things didn't turn out well for B. Scott. Looking at B. Scott's twitter apparently he was told by producers to change his original outfit and make up because they were uncomfortable with the fact that he was wearing heels and makeup.
Fans have shown an outpour of support, and questioning BET's homophobic actions and decision to hire B. Scott in the first place if they were going to try and control his normally gender nonconforming image.
And tell me why I KNEW he wasn't dressed the way he wanted. He looked a little more subdued than usual. I wasn't as jealous as I usually am.

@BET You are shamefully homophobic. If you want to uplift and support black people, uplift and support ALL of us. Even gorgeous men in heels

What they DID allow instead of what they didn't kills me. Tits, thighs, and ass everywhere...but a man can't wear makeup and heels. Goodbye.

I wasn't going to say anything but my spirit is truly hurt.

I'm sorry if I let anybody down today, I tried my best and it wasn't enough.

God knows my heart, what happened and at the end of day I would not even be here if it was not for his grace.

My TRUE saving grace was the Procter & Gamble consultant, who said: "We at P&G do not support what they are doing to you."
