Facebook Pride: Adorable!

The Advocate.
I bet all the angry queers who rioted at Stonewall didn't dare dream we'd see such an epoch-making - and ADORABLE - day!

Facebook - putting the PR back into Pride.

'How little pleasure most people need to make them find life good, how modest man is!' Nietzsche.

Number of search results for 'adorable' on The Advocate website - 502.

On Queerty - 579.

On Gay Star News - 114, but they ain't been going long.*

And yes, they're usually barftastic sentimental stories involving marriage or kids or both.

Any gay journalist who files a story about something 'adorable' deserves to have their hands drop off.

* Couldn't get Pink News' search engine to work, Towleroad had over 5000 (!) but that included readers' comments. I could have also done searches for things 'that will warm your heart!' but was worried about choking on my own vomit.

  1. Ooh, but as someone whose first known sight of gay men was of some of them in the dock at Luton Borough Court in the early 1960s, charged with gross indecency and buggery (my innocent colleague Anne said, "Ooh, look, they've mis-spelt 'burglary' "), which cases I was covering as a cub reporter on The Luton News, I think all this is LOVELY.
