I am old. I thought she was about 16.
Starkill3r98
Same. She doesn't look like she's 29.
Marikhen
I dunno. Looks early 30s in the first clip, mid-20s in the second, and in either video she doesn't sound anywhere near 16.
armonis
Her being gay is important because not so long ago, that would mean she would be reviled. It's good to remember how much times have changed.

Emmanuel as a baby :)

Emmanuel has always chosen violence even from an early age.

"Lesbian Hobby Farmer with Mischievous Emu Named Emmanuel" is the most 2022 headline and I love it.

Did she or her grandparents name the farm. Knuckle bump, ,,,,,

I love the way she talks to him! “Emmanuel! Don’t choose violence!”

Knuckle Bump Farms is an awesome name!
WoopDeFrickenDoo
is that a Lesbian Farmer reference?

I thought the name of the farm is what made the lesbian acknowledgment relative, but her grandparents probly named the farm.

The one does not preclude the other.

How does one farm for lesbians? Is it region specific? How does drought impact the lesbian yield in any given season? So many questions...

Why is her being gay important

representation. we can not continue to be suppressed and marginalized. the government in this nation is coming for us. we need to be loud.
mrsdowneyjr
I dunno, pointing it out seems exclusionary
mrsdowneyjr
And reductive
SoLongSaulGood
Remember when 50 yrs ago, if you mentioned you were homosexual, people would ostracize you or commit violence against you? It might be that.
mrsdowneyjr
Of course I do. I know they still might. But this woman is more than her sexuality. In fact, it has nothing to do with her personality or
folded13
Problematic either way. Mention it, it's unnecessary. Don't, it's anti-representative. Unnecessary is usually the better choice.
WeatherWiz
Is she by chance an imgurian?
SuperDramaticFusion
She’s a TikToker. Her channel is https://www.tiktok.com/@knucklebumpfarms
Strangedays2026
If she started in 13 she had to use other platforms before tiktok, but who knows if any are active.
WeatherWiz
I started here in 2013, so it’s possible

Tiktok didn't exist in 13 though, that was my point

So she started with Vine?

shanasphone350
She is awesome. I have some Emmanuel's at home. She is amazing. I love the love they share. I want to go to the farm!!!
GoblinShaper
To everyone confused as to why being a lesbian is important...it's a human interest story. Like maybe it matters to her? Idk.
Duskiewastaken
It's a bit weird imo, imagine if everybody's sexuality was specified in everyday content as some kind of title...
SoLongSaulGood
youre actually not affected at all if she tells you her sexuality. Literally NOTHING happened to you. But youre still acting like it did.
Duskiewastaken
it's a matter of relevance in a given context, here it's not. why not specify her height, weight or shoe size too? wouldn't that be weird?
SoLongSaulGood
No one ever got persecuted for shoe size but please be obtuse on purpose.
Duskiewastaken
it doesn't change the fact that it's completely irrelevant in this headline, at best. at worst they're just using LGBT terms for views.
TrickyVein
Why is it relevant that she's lesbian? Who writes this drivel
LullabyJones
Faust666
This was my very first thought too. What does her sexual orientation have to do with being a farmer, educator, or internet sensation?
dazergolf
sexual orientation is irrelevant - Emmanuel ROX
Knightendae
My first thought.
MeestowKitty
Because she's in the heart of Fascist country and it's important to remind people that queers exist. Even where we aren't wanted.

Came here to say this.
cybermage256
Our local news always anjounces when interviewing a heterosexual. Wait, no, that's not right.

God forbid the word lesbian appear needlessly. Truly this is a fucking travesty worth dozens of replies and opinions.

permissiontolosedenied
I was thinking the same. Cuz Florida?
farvtron
As a single white man it breaks my heart that she's playing for the other team, but there is no reason that needs to be the main takeaway.
MrsSlavicHorse
Because maybe it might confuse some conservative homophobes who now have to hate her whereas before they loved her and thought her funny?
obviouslyrob
I've been arguing for representation alone, but that's a great point! Flummoxing homophobes is a fantastic reason for doing anything.
MrsSlavicHorse
It does actually get them thinking too sometimes, I know because I used to be one of them
Soggybathroomsock
"Heterosexual president of the United States, Joe Biden, admonished China today, after several missiles". Yeah, it's weird.

it was pretty funny

She lives in FL so the "news" knows she'll get harassed like crazy and they can write more stories about her.
CerisCinderwolf
Lokicramer
I wasn't sure if she was a lesbian, but after it was mentioned countless times in the article, I have my suspicions.
CNChapeL
I was just about to ask the same thing. Who the hell cares ?
sekanna
Right?
SuperDramaticFusion
Its relevant to LGBTQNation, the source of the article, and I'd bet its relevant to Ms. Blake as well. Its called "representation".
salunatics
Representation is not unnecessary demographic data. If it's in LGBTQnation, I'm going to assume someone in that group.
Phayze87
It's an irrelevant fact that has nothing to do with the story. Imagine if every milk jug "Farmed by straight farmers" like... nobody cares.
Phayze87
If the story said "lady can't get farmland after deal falls through because she's a lesbian, then it's relevant could use representation.

Especially in Florida, it is vitally important to show that LGBTQIA+ people are just, you know, people.
Holedemort
And unfortunately specifying she is a lesbian identifies her more as a lesbian than just a people having a life the way she wants it without

Being called the "lesbian farmer" but that's just how I see it. Its like African American : no they are American citizens, not half citizens

Shine a beacon on theor differences.
obviouslyrob
This is the "I don't see color" of anti-LGBTQIA+. Representation matters.
PorneliusHubertII
I know representation matters bit you can have lgbtq characters and stories without the branding.
carlosaurusk
I'd say so, but the article mentions her girlfriend. Rather they represent us in the text rather than calling it out in the headline
gdex86
Because aiming for inclusion doesn't mean erasing all differences it means people accept and celebrate said differences.
obayemi
I would agree, but in that specific case, who cares about whatever is her sexual orientation, it's completely not the subject

Whenever we do anything noteworthy our stories are straight-washed, and that part who we were is scrubbed from the record.

This is a very good post from skapanda, who lived with their very good gal pal of 50+ years and saved money by sharing a flat. Motivational.
Wylf
This. I'm genuinely amazed by the amount of people being angry at "LGBTnation" daring to mention someone's lesbian in this comment section.
NacLac
Sure, but that doesn't make her sexuality relevant for the story other than driving clicks. Do you want to be defined by your sexuality or
NacLac
Have it not matter because it's no one's business?
skapanda616
primaveraish
I don't know if it's straight-washing if sexuality is left out where it doesn't matter.
skapanda616
We got sick of the straight washing and started writing about our own community. You read something that was written for us by us.
Althox00
Probably trying to take something that should be seen a normal and force people to realize it is.
tzahtman
Seeing how upset people are getting that it was mentioned instead of just recognizing it as a general descriptor I'd say it still matters.
TankTrain
I initially thought the same thing. But, her sexual orientation isn't provided for younger people. It's for people of mu generation and
TankTrain
older. (I'm nearly 40.) We grew up with a lot of homophobia and outright hostility towards anyone who was not straight. I remember people
TankTrain
saying that they wouldn't even watch Will and Grace because it had a "poofter" in it. And people who were clearly gay at school had a really
TankTrain
bad time. It's great that her sexuality isn't an issue for you. That means the world is, IMHO, heading towards a better place. The article
TankTrain
mentioning her sexuality is to help normalise lgbqti people to audiences who need more exposure. Generally, the older generations. Whatever

There is no harm in asking the question so long as they are willing to understand and accept the answer. That's how we all learn
MrStealUrChange
I literally came here to say this. I always loved her videos! Why does it matter if she's a lesbian. It's so unnecessary
katutaistelija
The story is from an lgbtq+ publication, so it's relevant for the article.
putcleverusernamehere
I came here to say this. I actually don't want to know if she's lesbian. Not because I care - I don't. Because it's not my business

I'm all for representation, but it's so stupid! It's not like you see "this straight farmer Joe is expecting a bountiful year for turnips!"
ItHurtsToSquirt
This exactly. Labels used in this way are divisive.
AussieAzza
Ah, but maybe we should start doing that...and insert 'presumably' in front if we're not sure. Jim, the presumably straight mechanic.
primaveraish
Also, we cannot do this because then it's nothing but "straight people forcing their sexuality on others and oppressing minorities."
primaveraish
To me it's the same bs I've personally fought against my entire life, how there are farmers and female farmers, doctors and female doctors.
Wylf
Because you usually assume that "Farmer Joe" is straight, until it's pointed out that they aren't.
4vie
Just a thought I got, not a contradiction; If I, a straight man, would read "Farmer Joe", it'd infer to me at least three things:
4vie
the man named Joe, is a farmer. And as I am a straight man, I'm assuming he is too, because that's the least amount of effort to encapsulate
4vie
this person's character. If I was a gay man, I would probably assume him to be gay too.
primaveraish
No I usually don't assume anything if it has nothing to do with the topic.
Wylf
That's commendable, but not the norm. Raising visibility of LGBT people via positive representation is important to normalize our existence.
primaveraish
Is this positive representation though? It's just another achieved woman and we're all now looking into her dating life.
spookyactionatadistance
That is equivalent to saying All Lives Matter. I understand your point was also wondering if it was relevant but representation does matter
primaveraish
To me, this is like women politicians are asked how their dating lives are instead of their work.
primaveraish
You gotta understand, all I've seen outside Imgur of her, is men drooling over "she's a lezzy too!" Like, fuck who she is, she's a lesbian >
primaveraish
and I give her value cause she licks pussy and is pretty. Wait, what did she do again? Idk, but she's a lesbian. Why? Why do we do this?
