‘In 1945, these two soldiers had hiked up into the Austrian Alps and a friend took their picture as they embraced in the snow. One soldier kept these snapshots hidden in a shoebox until the early 1990s when he handed them to a relative, along with the ring that he was wearing in the Alps photo, with the request: “Please keep these safe for me.” According to the relative, the soldier, nearing the end of his life, wanted to preserve the one thing that meant more to him than anything else. He passed away two years later.’

Remember when it was a huge controversy that Ellen came out on her show in 1997?

And that was the last time a lesbian needed to appear on national tv and glad we are to be past THAT awkwardness.

Not!

I want a whole buncha lesbians exhibiting a wide range of human emotions on all media outlets on the regular. If I am interviewing and I sus you are a lesbian, I immediately want to work for you.

It’s a thing for me based on life experience. Fight me.
