Honestly, I had no idea LGBTQ+ couples could have children outside of adopting. Seeing two women have a child together in a more traditional way would've blown my mind and really showcase how queer couples can have children the same way straight people can.Listen, I'm so sorry to bring down the mood so early in the post, but, as someone who doesn't have a relationship with their parents solely because of my identity, this speech would've helped my younger self be more prepared when it comes to dealing with bigotry from the people who are supposed to love you the most.This was such a sweet way for Patrick to come out.

He was so proud of his relationship even when he was absolutely terrified about how his parents would react. But, that still didn't stop him from living his truth.

I only wish my baby gay self could've seen such a tremendously brave act. I lovedddddd watching cartoons when I was younger.

And, honestly, I still do, lol. But, there was absolutely no queer representation in any of the animated shows I watched. Until Steven Universe, I had never seen a kids' show show a queer relationship unapologetically.

LGBTQ+ Labour First openly gay MP says coming out in 1980s was ‘one of the scariest moments of my life’
Labour MP for Islington, South Finsbury and I’m gay’.With those words, Chris became the first-ever openly gay MP, and later the first gay cabinet minister – after Labour’s late Maureen Colquhoun confirmed herself as Britain’s first openly lesbian MP in the 1970s.The bravery both politicians showed paved the way for others – with the UK having more LGBTQ+ lawmakers than anywhere else in the world after the last election.Over the years, Chris, who served in Tony’s Blair’s government, has continued to fight against dangerous prejudice and became the first MP to announce he was living with HIV in 2005.Speaking to Metro.co.uk about his place in LGBTQ+ history on Pride Month, the 70-year-old has told readers to ‘be proud about who and what you are’.Chris, who now sits in the House of Lords, knew he was gay a decade before he was elected in 1983, but had never shared his sexuality with the world. The right moment ‘had never presented itself’ – and the fear homophobia would lose him votes lingered uncomfortably in the back of his mind.The right occasion finally arose when Rugby Council decided to withdraw protection for discrimination against sexual orientation in what was named a ‘ban on gays’.Although the council denied discriminating, one councillor named ‘all homosexuals vile and perverted people’, while the leader said ’we are not having men turn up for work in dresses round here’.‘I can remember sitting on the train to Rugby and writing this mundane speech’, Chris said. ‘But when I arrived at the hall, about 1,000 people were there and I remember just thinking, “if I’m going to do this, this is the moment”.
