We want to go through our existence with brittle, closed heart; a cyborgian monster, impervious to feelings, including our own.
We want to be cutthroat, remote; the assistant we just fired sobbing at our feet amidst the manila.
We want to be coldness incarnate.
It was all going great, too… until these handsome gay rugby players decided to get hitched at this weekend’s London Pride Parade.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.

Now we’re oohing and awwing along with the other feelers. The ice is thawing. They’ve destroyed our chilly repose, those selfish bastards.
Fernando Ferreira plays with the Kings Cross Steelers RFC, founded in 1995; the first rugby club to be gay-inclusive.
Right as the team came out to perform a line-out, they paused — and Ferreira turned his attention to his boyfriend, watching from the sidelines.
He dropped to one knee and popped the question.
And it goes without saying, but still: the crowd went completely bananas over the whole spectacle.

Tears in my eyes. Such joy. Not only for the happy couple, but look at their friends and the crowd.

Oh, thank goodness they’re both handsome. Wouldn’t be worth reporting otherwise, huh?

The bitterness runs deep with this one

@jack meoff, lay off the guy and don’t be so judgemental. you don’t know willparkinson, let alone whether or not he’s bitter. he makes a valid point about the superficiality of the gay community where too often outward appearance has greater relevance than things of actual substance like character and maturity.

Oh please do open your eyes prarie pup, you won’t find uglies being reported on gay or str8. Just doesn’t sell. You and Will need a little more str8 world media education about superficiality. It rules.

Whether they’re handsome or not, love is love.

Right on Chris!

Great to see that our gay world is far more than the outside culturally accepted stereotypes. Very cool to see rough and tumble rugby guys, being gay, in love and shedding tears for the moment.
Billy Budd
So cute. They are macho but they also cried. Who can resist a tough guy crying?

Video won’t play 🙁

Same! Never have that happen as a rule.

WTH is waywire? Not long ago when I tried to play Queerty videos it showed the waywire logo overlaid on the YouTube logo and I could go to YouTube to watch the vid. Now it doesn’t do anything and tells me to restart my device, which doesn’t work Queerty. It’s getting really tiresome when sites change or “fix” something that isn’t broken and make issues worse.

Great video and congratulations to you both!

So happy for them!

They cannot be married in the UK. The UK allows civil partnerships but not marriages for two people of the same sex.
I hope their civil partnership lasts a long time. What is a long time in gay speak? 12 months?

As usual, you are absolutely wrong.
The Civil Partnership became legal in 2005.
Full marriage was passed in 2013 and went into effect in 2014.
Google is your friend, even if you don’t have any in real life, moron.
