I didn’t set out to be the first openly gay athlete playing in a major American team sport. But since I am, I’m happy to start the conversation. I wish I wasn’t the kid in the classroom raising his hand and saying, “I’m different.” If I had my way, someone else would have already done this. Nobody has, which is why I’m raising my hand.
About time you have courage to do this and now let’s hope more follow this example
I love this! What I love about it is that this is the classic James Bond pose, where he usually has a girl holding on to his leg, but this time it’s the girl who’s the hero and the boy grabbing her leg. “Kill those demons for me, Clary, and in return, I will wear scanty, scanty clothes!”

This kittens are so trusting to sleep in a total strangers hood which just so happens I have a kitten in my hood this very moment who is sound asleep after exploring our porch like it was the most fascinating place on earth I will truly miss this little one the moment I leave for the dorm.
Don’t worry Dewey you are always gonna be my number one cat no matter how adorable the one in my hood is.
Dewey is the ball of fur glaring at me for disturbing her perpetual nap
“The second moment we heard that encapsulates just what radio can bring to the drama involved Benedict Cumberbatch’s purr, a bottle of wine, a pair of anoraks, and, according to Maggs, some “slowed-down pigeon”, but we won’t spoil it by saying any more.”
