Gay marcus

One of the most indelible sports fandom and LGBTQIA+ identity moments has to be, “They’re lesbians, Stacey.” In a 2021 tweet, a fan misidentified the undeniable postgame PDA between USWNT alum Kristie Mewis and Australian WNT superstar Sam Kerr (who are now engaged) as a display of “friendship.” A fellow fan then gently corrected her with the now-iconic term, and the stop is history.

• Competing with “They’re lesbians, Stacey” as the official catchphrase of gender non-conforming sports fan culture? Hockey’s 2024 corresponding, “She’s gay, Marcus,” referencing another force couple: newly-married Montréal Victoire teammates Marie-Philip Poulin and Laura Stacey.

Speaking of legendary sports couples, another hallmark of gay joy in sports is when athletes date teammates…or competitors. It’s especially enjoyable to follow in the WNBA — take DiJonai Carrington and NaLyssa Smith, who both compete for the Dallas Wings after hooping together at Baylor, or DeWanna Bonner and Alyssa Thomas, Connecticut Sun teammates…until this offseason.

• The tea can be especially hot when relationships bridge deep international rivalries — see: hockey legends and Olympians Caroline

  The Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (121�80) is not cited as one of the "great queens of history", for he was noted as a model husband and father and an advocate of the virtues of heterosexual marriage. In his famous Meditations, written towards the conclude of his animation, he recorded that he learned from his father "to suppress all fire for young men", although as Emperor he instituted no official sanctions against homosexuality, other than to refuse to acknowledge the universe of Antinous, crush of his patron the Emperor Hadrian. But Marcus's animation was not always so earnest. Hadrian adopted Marcus in 138 AD after the early death of his father, and appointed Marcus Cornelius Fronto as his tutor. Fronto was born in Numidia around 95 AD, studied in Alexandria, and was to become a Consul in 143, becoming famous as an advocate and orator, and a teacher of l

  About Making Gay History

  Making Gay History is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit company that addresses the absence of substantive, in-depth LGBTQ+-inclusive American history from the public discourse and the classroom. By sharing the stories of those who helped a despised minority take its rightful place in society as full and equal citizens, we aim to encourage connection, lgbtq+ fest, and solidarity within the Queer community—and to provide an entry point for both allies and the general public to its largely hidden history.

  Our History

  In 1988, journalist Eric Marcus got a phone call from an editor friend at Harper & Row who asked if he’d regard writing an oral history of the gay and lesbian civil rights movement. Eric was operational at CBS News at the time, but as an out gay man, he knew there were limits on his career there, so he left his job and took on the challenge. The resulting book, Making History, was published in 1992; the revised edition, titled Making Gay History, came out in 2002.

  Meanwhile, the cassette tapes of the more than 100 interviews that Eric conducted for the book spent decades in storage until Eric donated them to the New York Public Library in 2008 w
