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.

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 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

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.
