Bad thing Quote by Roxane Gay

“I'm fat positive, in that I don't see fat as a bad thing. But what I do see as a bad thing is how I'm treated. I can have the most positive outlook in the world, but that is not going to change how hecklers and people walking down the street are yelling at me.” quote by Roxane Gay — Download Open image
