Wanna remind y’all that Bea Arthur actually opened a homeless shelter for LGBT+ youth in NYC
Wow this moment.
When my father came out to me as gay, I was eight, but I understood, roughly, because I had seen THIS ONE EPISODE of The Golden Girls.
I think I actually said “Oh, like on the Golden Girls.” Which was not what he was expecting. But this show made it super simple for me to understand that:
Being gay was intrinsic
People were discriminated against for being gay
People shouldn’t be discriminated against for being gay
And that, under the circumstances, was all that I really needed to understand that his coming out was a big deal, important and scary for him, but also something to respect and support, even if it meant changing our family.
So yay for sharing this iconic moment during pride.
personally I like to think steve’s birthday isn’t actually July 4th but someone asked him when his birthday was when he was doing his little show tour thingy and he just said it as an accident and/or a panic response in a bid to seem even more patriotic and everyone believed him and now it’s like 100 years later and he’s too deep in the lie to back out now bc he knows all the avenger’s would fucking publicly roast him if he admitted july 4th wasn’t actually his birthday- like he would literally never live that down- so he lives his life in fear that some bitch ass historian is gonna find his birth certificate and expose him
avengers: happy birthday, steve!
bucky, eyes narrowing: what the fuck your birthday isn’t until-
steve, holding back tears: shut up
Bucky tries to hand him a birthday card one cold December day, and Steve tackles him out a window before anyone else can see what he’s holding
if you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to live in the midwest, this is it.
You missed some of the best ones
the best part about it is that the art installation isn’t actually called the Bean. It’s called Cloud Gate, and artist Anish Kapoor (yes, THAT Anish Kapoor) hates that we call it the Bean.
But i mean, look at it. It’s a bean.
How could you forget this one though
I HAD NO FUCKING IDEA THAT THE BEAN WAS CREATED BY ANISH KAPOOR.
