This 6’3 Illinois politician got wet at Chicago Pride & of course Gay Twitter™ took notice
A post shared by Alexi Giannoulias (@alexiforus)What qualities do you look for in a politician? Strong morals? Level-headedness?
How about the ability to win a wet T-shirt contest? Alexander “Alexi” Giannoulias is your man.Giannoulias has served as Illinois’ Secretary of State since January of this year.
He’s straight, but that didn’t stop him from celebrating Chicago Pride this weekend in classic fashion: by attending the parade, then posting a thirst trap to social media.Like lots of parade attendees, Giannoulias got caught in the rain.
It got his T-shirt soaking wet, putting Giannoulias’ physique on full display. (He used to be a professional basketball player, if you couldn’t guess.) He posted a picture of his drenched look with the caption, “Thank you Illinois for making me so proud to live here and work for you!” He added that his “Jordans got soaked,” but let’s be real — no one was looking at his shoes.Thank you Illinois for making me so proud to live here and work for you! #Pride2023 ????????
