There's a very funny song from the 70s called "Shoes," about a wedding night where the groom is obviously a raging closet case.

Johnny Marr loves that song. Hmmm...I've long suspected him to be a closet case...hmmm...he could've done the world a lot of good if he'd come out at the height of his fame...but he didn't!

alas. thankfully, times are changing, and we have many prominent folks coming out these days!

Yes. In that sense, things have improved.

Still a lot of work to be done, though.

for sure. Would be great to have a world where such differences are celebrated

Despite appearances to the contrary, I think we're getting there. Slow and steady always wins.

Every year, a few more countries legalize gay marriage

I've never been married. I used to say that I never would, but now I'm more open to the possibility.

for the right person!

Yes. Someday. Most likely when I least expect it.

could happen, I met my husband by matching on Tinder, despite living in different cities. Must have matched with him while on the train

I enjoy riding trains. I guess I'm lucky that I've never had a bad experience riding a train.

Trains are amazing. great scenery usually. and you can relax in them

Yeah, some beautiful scenery for sure.

Some train travel inspiration

The early 90s British band Inspiral Carpets were an inspiration to...uh...Oasis.

Right, I'll get my coat and leave.

A whole new world!

Disney's Aladdin is a very fun movie.

One of my faves!

Aladdin is way up there on my list, but Beauty and the Beast is in my top spot.

I'll need to rank mine. I think I'd put Aladdin and Mulan as my top 2. Beauty and the Beast, Little Mermaid and Hercules probably round out my top 5.

The Little Mermaid is a Disney milestone that started off one of their most consistently great runs of animated films.

The beginning of the Disney Renaissance!

An exciting time, to be sure!

It was also right around then that Warner Brothers released a lot of its Pre-1948 Golden Age Looney Tunes & Merrie Melodies on home video for the first time.

Another lovely age!

And then, of course, there's the old saying, "The Golden Age of comics is when you were 12 years old."

That doesn't quite apply to me, though.

I've had two Golden Ages. The first was from when I was 7 through 9, and I could look forward every week to a new issue of Don Miki, a 100-page digest (later 80 pages) which reprinted Italian Disney stories (translated into Spanish, of course.) Compared to the usual Disney comics with stories from America, Denmark, Holland, and Brazil (and the occasional Italian one,) this was a world of difference in every way! The second was from ages 18 to 20, when I first got into superheroes. That was the much-reviled early 90s, but I'll go to my grave defending the superhero comics from those years.
