Here’s a cosmic truth for you: at the moment of the Big Bang, every single thing—every atom, every molecule, every quark—was crammed into one ridiculously tiny, impossibly dense point. Think about that. Every human, every star, every molecule that would ever exist was just vibing together in a singularity. And that singularity? Let’s be real—it was the gayest little space imaginable.

A Singular Singularity

Picture it: The Big Bang singularity. No room for division, no room for hate, just a fabulous, inclusive blob of infinite potential. Racists? Your atoms were pressed up against the atoms of people you’d hate on today. Homophobes? You were cheek to subatomic cheek with queerness incarnate. Every molecule of existence was packed tighter than a drag show dressing room on a Saturday night.

And what did that singularity do? It let out the biggest, most dramatic bang in history, flinging every bit of cosmic potential into a universe that has spent billions of years becoming more complex, diverse, and interconnected. The Big Bang wasn’t just an origin—it was a declaration: “Here comes everything!”

The Absurdity of Division

Fast-forward to today, where some people think they’re above others because of their race, gender, or who they love. It’s laughable. The very atoms in their bodies once shared space—literally the same space—as every other atom in the universe. You can’t get more unified than that.

Racism and homophobia don’t just go against ethics or morality—they go against physics. Your essence once existed in the same point of infinite density as everyone else. You’re stardust, and so is everyone you’ve ever hated on. If the universe could talk, it’d probably laugh in your face and say, “Sweetheart, we all started in the same fabulous spot. Get over yourself.”

The Universe Is a Drag Queen

The Big Bang itself feels like the ultimate drag show. One moment, the universe is a tiny, unassuming singularity, and the next, it EXPLODES into infinite possibilities—galaxies twirling through spacetime, stars strutting down the cosmic runway, life evolving in every direction. Every quark and lepton screamed, “I’m here, I’m queer, and I’m ready to expand!”

And isn’t that what life is about? Taking the raw material of existence and turning it into something beautiful, something unexpected, something unapologetically diverse. The universe doesn’t just tolerate variety—it thrives on it.

A Cosmic Call to Unity

So, what’s the takeaway here? If every molecule that exists today was once packed into a tiny, unified point, who are we to act like we’re separate or superior? If the universe itself started in a place of total inclusion, maybe humanity’s job is to embrace that same energy.

Hate? Division? That’s not just morally bankrupt—it’s scientifically embarrassing. You’re literally made of atoms that once cuddled up to every race, gender, and sexuality that ever existed or ever will. The Big Bang was a singularity of unity. What’s your excuse for being an asshole?

The Universe Doesn’t Care About Your Bigotry

Here’s the cosmic joke: whether you accept it or not, you’re part of this ridiculous, fabulous, infinitely interconnected universe. Your atoms don’t care about your prejudices—they’ve already mingled with everyone else’s. Racism and homophobia aren’t just hateful—they’re pathetically small-minded in the face of the infinite.

So, the next time you see someone trying to divide the world into “us” and “them,” remind them: We all started out in the same tiny, gay little space. The Big Bang didn’t discriminate. Neither should you.
