My Dear Sir:
You [al, struck through] will allow me on the part of my people to congratulate you most heartily for commissioning Hon Frederick Douglass Minister to Hayti. He is the Lion of our race and represents in its [most, struck through] fullest sense the honor and dignity of our people
In this connection I might add that the appointment of Lynch and Townsend of Indiana and other recognition recently had is more than ample testimony of the fairness of the administration toward the colored people of the entire country.

-his father wasn’t supportive at first so Tina had to interfere again but now his cool with Mike
12- Matt Rutherford- gay
-he had a crush on Mercedes before he realized he actually likes guys
-I like to think him and Mike met again in university and they dated for a bit 👉👈
-he had so much potential😭
13- Jesse St. James- bisexual
-not calling Jonathan Groff a bad actor but not even for a second I believed this man was straight
-he was totally into Finn back in season 1
-bi4bi4bi St. HudBerry throuple?
14- Sam Evans- bisexual

15- Lauren Zizes- pansexual

-she really deserved to stay in season 3, this 👆 is the only fruity scene she has😭
-her and Tina being goth girlfriends tho
16- Blaine Anderson- gay and trans
-canonically gay
-him being trans is not a unpopular headcanon surprisingly
-I don’t know why but this just makes so much sense
-I don’t have a lot to wright here, not the biggest Blaine fan out there
17- Sugar Motta- lesbian

-I think he never knew his identity, his parents always told him he was going to marry a woman someday so he thought that was the pattern…
-…until he saw Sam shirtless in the locker room
20- Dave Karofsky- gay and Bear

Summary:
One surprise e-mail and everybody's heart stopped for a few minutes. Literally, in shock.
Nobody expected to get that email. Not when the couple was relatively new and they should have had more years to live together. Blaine Hummel-Anderson would have seen the end of the world by now. Nobody knew what to do or how they would console him. Honestly, who could read Blaine's feelings through a bland e-mail?
They had a funeral to attend!
Thank you @special-bc-ur-part-of-it for the wonderful banner
Enjoy my little spooky contribution and your comments/kudos can my day!
