A viral thread on Twitter has warmed hearts. Many say it offers a love-filled antidote at the start of a Pride Month that feels besieged by more hate than usual.
“Do you know any queer people who have been together for 10 years?” asked the tweet in question. The replies came flooding in. At the time of writing, it’s had thousands of retweets and replies.
Yes! We are one of those queer pairs, too! Brad and me are on year 27 and married for the last 7 of those years!! Life has been good. pic.twitter.com/ZGrR80XV76
We were teen lovers in high school, then as adults we were married for 23 years until a rare aggressive cancer took her from me a few months ago. We were the loves of each other's lives. She took her last breath holding my hand. ?????? https://t.co/21ieBlIeampic.twitter.com/qjulvshMI7
Do you miss your twinky younger self? Or much prefer your older version?
Don't forget to share:
Help make sure LGBTQ+ stories are being told...
We can't rely on mainstream media to tell our stories. That's why we don't lock Queerty articles behind a paywall. Will you support our mission with a contribution today?
My husband and I met in 2008. I was in my first year of university and he was in his last. Despite being together only 2 months before he graduated, he changed his plans to move to London (we are based in the UK) and stayed in the university city. Been together 15 years now.
