First, their shade came when they responded to a story that resurfaced after three years. Back in 2015, USA Today covered a Tennessee hardware store owner putting a “No Gays Allowed” sign outside his establishment. He put up his sign in response to the Supreme Court’s ruling that allowed same-sex marriage. His story resurfaced again this week when the Supreme Court ruled that businesses have a right to deny gay people because of religious beliefs. “No Gays Allowed” started trending on Twitter and Dictionary.com slyly responded by defining “homophobia.” Homophobia is defined as unreasoning fear of or antipathy toward homosexuals and homosexuality. E.g. A “no gays allowed” sign may be construed as homophobia. https://t.co/ynk0jI6tJ1 https://t.co/9fKXYyMZHk — Dictionary.com (@Dictionarycom) June 7, 2018 Well played Dictionary.com. And they didn’t stop there. They also covered Malcolm Jenkin ‘s silent protest where he presented facts about police brutality and prisons, yet the press still questioned him, instead of reading and listening.

On Monday, Marcus posted a high school photo from a 2016 yearbook and you would think it showed him and his brother in two separate pictures. However, both pics are all Malcolm, who took pictures as himself and his brother since Marcus was out sick that day. my twin is the GOAT he took both of our pics for Picture day back in HS when I was sick pic.twitter.com/BdwRXLlaJ8 — Marcus Williams (@marcus6096) June 4, 2018 Brilliant. Social media was definitely impressed. Lmaooooo the fact that he switched up the expressions is soooo hilarious https://t.co/8RF8aB16Q7 — c.r.y.s (@iLeCrys) June 5, 2018 According to Mashable , this isn’t the first time Marcus and Malcolm have pulled a big switch. They’ve gone to the movies while wearing the same outfit so they can buy one ticket, they’ve filled in for each other at work, and they’ve taken tests for each other. This definitely sounds like an episode of Sister, Sister. If they ever do a male spinoff, Tia and Tamera will know who to call!
