It’s something that we both feel is an issue that’s close to us, an issue we believe in, and this is one way to show that.” We’ve tried to support them in different ways to create equality, basically. We’ve just gotten to know people in and around the community, and the issues they go through and what they’re trying to accomplish. “My wife has taught me a lot more about it than I knew before, and kind of broadened my views on a lot of LGBT community issues. Holtby took to the streets of Washington, D.C., with his wife Brandi and others from the Capitals organization, dressed in a red t-shirt and draped in a giant rainbow flag to show his support of the LGBT community.Īccording to the Washington Post, Holtby credits his wife for making him aware of issues facing the LGBT community. The Washington Capitals marched in their first official Capital Pride Parade Saturday afternoon and their Vezina Trophy finalist goalie Braden Holtby led the way.

It's like saying that every woman is either a Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda, or Samantha. To say that each gay person belongs to one of these types is a bit deceptive. They may not be very familiar to the world at large, but they are certainly familiar to the brothers in butt fucking. That's right, we have our own stereotypes for each other, and they're much more specific than you can ever imagine. That said, when the gays see a fellow homosexual in the public sphere, we try to plug them into the convenient taxonomy the community has made for itself. A queer will tell you that we are all individuals and that those stereotypes are false and horrible. Just like the world at large may stereotype gays as mincing wrist flippers with great taste bent on giving everyone they meet a make over. It is actually broken down into a handful of substrata to which each gay belongs. The gay world is often represented as some sort of monolithic whole that has the same culture. But when Tibbets died at age 92, he requested cremation with no headstone – and no funeral - military honors or not. His grandson is an Air Force Academy graduate who came up flying B-2 Spirit bombers. His family was also a proud military family. It is the name of the main character in the novel Enola or, her Fatal Mistake (1886) by Mary Young. He even re-enacted the bombing in a B-29 during a 1976 Texas air show and denounced the Smithsonian’s exhibition of the actual plane when it debuted because of the exhibition’s focus on the suffering of the Japanese people and not the brutality of the Japanese military. This name first appeared in the late 19th century. He proudly named his airplane Enola Gay after his beloved mother. At the time of the Hiroshima bombing, he was one of the youngest but most experienced pilots in the Army Air Forces. It wasn’t that Tibbets wasn’t proud of his service. But instead of being interred at home or at Arlington National Cemetery with all his brothers in arms, he was cremated and his ashes spread across the English Channel. He was the man who dropped the first atomic weapon used in combat against an enemy city. He was never forgotten, however, and never would be. When Paul Tibbets died in January 2007, he had been retired from the Air Force since 1966. The alt known as A Considerate Top (not safe for work) explained this to me while recounting his origin story. And some of Twitter’s sexiest alts have huge followings. They’re not that different from the urge to create “finstas” (fake Instagrams) or private Snapchat accounts, pseudonymous accounts where users can, paradoxically, really be themselves. “Alt” can be read as alternative or alter ego, but the word has its own life as the term for secondary account. And a faction of gay Twitter users have taken full advantage through their alts. Anyone, if their heart desires, can post nudes, selfies, and homemade videos of up to two minutes and 20 seconds. (Twitter, reached for comment, directed Vox to said media policy.) It’s a sex-positive policy on an increasingly sex-wary internet. The platform may have banned a former president who helped stoke a deadly insurrection, but nonviolent, non-extremist, consensual nudes and sex videos are fair game, according to the site’s media policy. Twitter, I’ve come to learn, is a fantastic place to find, store, and share homemade gay porn.
