This is why I get mad seeing people be like "Oh why do we need the rainbow laces campaign" whenever the Premier League promotes it. This is why. It's sad that folks can't just do stuff like this publicly without fearing for their safety
Everyone celebrating or encouraging athletes in men’s sports for coming out post-Heated Rivalry need to understand the context the show exists in. This soccer ref went viral for proposing to his fiancé on the pitch & then they were assaulted in their home after receiving threats.

This is the world we live in. I thought how brave he was to do a proposal and now that happened. Sadly I expected something like this. Heated Rivalry remains fiction.

This series is simply the best depiction of the damage the closet can do that has ever been made.

Footage from inside Trump’s golf club Super Bowl party reveals the Bad Bunny half time show played on the big screens.

What a bunch of hypocrites.

Loved this moment because it was a clear message, but also just another couple of dancers integrated into the larger scene. My BIL's Puerto Rican family has been nothing but accepting of my sexuality, to the point of being annoying with the "still no boyfriend?" questions at holidays lol.
Omg this is so good I missed this! VERY intentional shot lingering on two men grinding on each other

Throughout his career Benito has been an ally to the LGBTQ community and has tried to push back against the machismo prevalent in Latin music

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them
What a moment.

I know Ricky Martin was there because he's a Puerto Rican icon, but I really appreciated that Bad Bunny made a pointed choice to give a gay man a moment in the spotlight in his vision of America

Levi's clearly cashing in on the derriere discourse generated by Heated Rivalry for their #SuperBowl ad. #HeatedRivalry

Pat McAfee’s comment that US cities aren’t filthy and dangerous the way they’re depicted by GOP/conservative media?

Just half story.

Other half is that crime, homelessness rising in rural areas—but few dare drag rurals the way the do urbanites.

Heated Rivalry sure is turning me into a teenager, snickering at comments from Olympics broadcasters who say things like "he dominated from top to bottom" when they're just describing a snowboard race.

For the past few years rather than share Blk history factoids instead what I’ve done is provide a prompt then people can do their own research in their own time. I’ve gotten good feedback for doing it this way

So in honor of Black History month

Today's prompt is Bessie Smith

NBC editing out the booing of JD Vance is a disgrace. It’s an international event. Americans have the right to know what the world is saying. NBC has bowed down to Trump.

Bad news: my sister had never heard of Heated Rivalry

Good news: she now wants to watch it.

I missed this early article on why it’s Heated Rivalry’s refusal to acknowledge that you like playing on your phone that creates its powerful storytelling.

This was written long before they went to the cottage, too:
