I think people forget that tc are in a very different professional situation than other couples. They’re two of the biggest stars on a national team that gets a ton of media attention, and they play a lot of minutes together and at the same position. They have very different pressures on them than, say, Ali and Ashlyn did when they started being more public.
Right now, everyone knows that they’re together and they know that we know, but media can’t report on their relationship and that’s important. Rings and vacations and clearly-shared apartments aren’t enough for anyone to throw out a dumb question about whether playing time affects their relationship or ask about kids or whatever. Explicitly confirming their relationship would have a tangible impact on how they do their jobs. At some point they might decide it’s worth it, but it’s irritating when people expect it.
Yep.
People need to understand that even if America is over the homophobia stage that would loose them sponsorship deals (it's not), there is still the part where gay couples are simply treated differently.
They get asked different questions and they get asked more questions. It's a distraction from your work, not because they are not professional, but because 95% of the media is unprofessional.
Being out doesn't require any of us to answer the questions of a herd of unprofessional and incapable journalists. Until it does people need to stop complaining about them not officially speaking out.
My guys. the fact that so many of you are reblogging my post about Justice Thomas's desire to overturn Lawrence with exclamations of "how???" and with such lack of knowledge of our past is really disconcerting.
Gay sex was illegal federally in the United States until 2003 (when Lawrence was ruled on). Before Lawrence many MANY states had "Sodomy Laws" that prohibited gay sex within the state itself and criminalized homosexuality, often using targeting words like "pervert" to describe gay men much the way conservatives talk of "grooming" today. In fact prior to 1962 homosexual sex, as well as certain types of consensual sex acts between differently gendered couples, was a felony with the cost being lengthy jail time and/or hard labor. As of April 2022 14 states have STILL not repealed their sodomy laws. Keep that in mind.
In this last week of Pride month i am BEGGING you. LEARN SOME LGBTQ+ History. The history of your rights, your lack of rights, how recent it all is, how unstable your rights are RIGHT NOW. So many of what should now be our elders were killed during the AIDS Crisis. It is now up to you to learn these things yourself.

she looks at me with
more adoration than i thought
a heart could possibly hold
and i don't know how to tell her
that i don't want to be a hero anymore.
heroes don't get happy endings,
the stories lie.
heroes make sacrifices,
heroes ache,
heroes have to choose.
how dare you ask me to choose
between the love of my life
and the rest of the world?
how could i make that decision?
what good is the rest of the world
if she isn't in it?
what good am i?

The best thing for me? How Andrew Garfield got a chance to redeem his character, a proper way to say goodbye, an ending that will make him proud and happy instead of sad and disappointed.
I can’t stop thinking about how his eyes were shining all the time. How his happiness radiated from him. How he got to be side by side with his hero (Tobey) and be spiderman with him! To get his ‘blessing’ (“you are amazing!”).
About his character: how he got his hope back, his colors back. Meeting the other Parkers was so important for all of them but him most of all. How saving MJ from the exact same accident he lost Gwen to was heartbreakingly healing. You could see it, Andrew nailed his acting here. The absolute pain he felt, the ‘I could’ve saved her too’ mixed with ‘at least I saved MJ, and this Peter won’t have to go through that’.
Andrew got a chance to make things right for himself, and he did it graciously. He gave all of himself and I am so absolutely proud and happy for him. For me, this was the best thing in a film full of great things. I just… you deserve it, Andrew and amazing!Peter. You both deserve it!
