Just had the funniest night:
I confessed my lust for our mutual pal to my two bffs at college, who in turn admitted they'd been feeling similarly. THIS IS SO FUNNY XD

QUESTION: are there any LGBT supporting characters for either Captain Marvel or Black Panther?
Oh YEY!!! This made me smile; thank-you both. I will add them to the LGBT Marvel character thread. So... we might actually get an LGBT supporting cast member in the BP movie? That would be awesome!
Some heartwarming stories from Huffington Post that end up making me envious of how much more awesome this new generation of kids is, 2012 and 2014.
Another YouTuber, Connor Franta, has come out. Even if you don't watch his videos (I don't personally), his story is worth checking out as he talks about how much of a struggle he had in opening up; even though he knew for a very long time he couldn't open up until his 20s.

I did start watching Troye Sivan's videos (and the Spud films) after he came out and I'm still watching, so I might have to do the same with Connor and see if I like his style.

Happiness for one of the giants of gay rights! So glad for her
Martina Navratilova's wedded bliss
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-30490513
I met Navratilova and her new bride Julia Lemigova in a room at the Peninsula hotel in New York, just moments after the tennis legend had said "I do". Their delight was evident. So how does the nine-time Wimbledon winner feel a few minutes into her new role as wife? Terrified and really odd are the initial reactions and then a slightly choked, "I'm 58 years old, and I got married for the first time. It's about time, right?"
This summer, 33 years after she came out as bisexual, Navratilova proposed to her girlfriend of six years. She did so on bended knee, in public, on camera, at the US Open. "I was so overwhelmed and completely surprised," Lemigova says of the moment, "but I would not expect anything less from Martina." Lemigova said yes, and that led to the Peninsula.
For Navratilova, there are actually two new roles today - wife and mother - Lemigova has two daughters. Navratilova reveals that Julia's younger daughter had been badgering to propose to her mother all year. And if Martina feels anxious about becoming a mum herself at 58, she doesn't show it. This was a private ceremony for friends and family, but it is clear they both feel it is a public act too - one they hope will encourage other gay couples.
Navratilova has championed gay rights for decades. She says after so many years of not having marital rights, it is important for gay families to make their relationships legal, and her public proposal and wedding are part of that cause. While public opinion has shifted with remarkable speed on this issue, there are still very few openly gay athletes, even in the world of tennis. "I'm surprised more players haven't come out," says Navratilova. "Particularly no male players. They're so far in the closet, I don't even know who they are."
Navratilova has always been a trailblazer - off court and on. She is still an icon for millions of aspiring players. But today she is something more private and more romantic. For the first time, she is a wife.
Take Me to Church has been trending in the charts and become really quite an earworm. I don't like a lot of the mainstream music nowadays, but this actually made for quite a change.
What I didn't expect when watching the video was guys kissing and brutal attacks. It's pretty heartbreaking to watch, but the subtext is clear.

We're part Dutch, so yes those are little wooden shoes
We'll have friends and siblings visiting. I don't spend a lot per person but I feel I'm a pretty thoughtful gift-giver.
You Dutch are awesome! The tree here is way less impressive.

I could never watch The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings films. It brings back memories of me falling asleep in a theater when I was seven (that was around the time the second LoTR film came out.)
Nevertheless, have a great holiday ^^
That's so sweet. I hope the holidays are as awesome as you've described them. ^^
That tree is badass. Happy Holidays!
