The mile-long rainbow flag being carried down First Avenue in New York City.

“For New York City Pride in 1994 (Stonewall 25), Baker created a mile-long rainbow flag that was carried down First Avenue in Manhattan. During the parade, Baker used scissors to cut segments from the flag to be rushed to Fifth Avenue for an impromptu protest march in front of St. Patrick’s Cathedral, the headquarters of New York City’s anti-gay Catholic archdiocese.

"There's a lot of taboos around exploring physical intimacy with people you admire and love without people, especially in western culture, who are like "Oh they're fucking, they're doing this" and so I was always frustrated by these kinds of notions and especially with Connor who I love dearly. No matter what people think, I'm always gonna just physically express my love." Hudson Williams x SiriusXM

"It's really enlightening about the culture of how men and man-on-man affection is received because you don't see that a lot. It's a taboo for men to be friends and grab each other a certain way or hold hands. And me and Hudson being in such a sexual circumstance with one another it's really interesting to watch people sexualize our very amicable signs of affection. That just shows where the culture is still at in a way like, "Oh, these two men..." just because we're really comfortable with each other and we love each other, we've been through the craziest experiences together, we're on this crazy rollercoaster together, if I have my hand on his leg as we're sitting down doing a press thing because he's my best buddy and I love him, and we have that level of comfort. It's just interesting that that instantly gets turned into, "They're more than friends." Connor Storrie x Variety

Connor isn’t Ilya. Connor is real, Ilya is a character.

Hudson isn’t Shane. Hudson is real, Shane is a character.

These real life people are actors, their job is to act. They do not have a secret relationship going on. Hudson has a real life girlfriend who he’s been in a relationship with for over 6 years. Said girlfriend has been dealt a huge amount of misogyny and abuse for months because people are insane and can’t stop with the parasocial behaviour. One of them can do something without the other. They aren’t the same people they were 5 months ago. They’re both stepping into new roles and will be working with new cast members. They’re not a package, they are two separate people.

The whole rpfing is so dehumanising to more than just the two of them. There’s having fun with a ship and then there is crossing so many boundaries. You have Shane and Ilya to work with to your hearts content, do whatever with them. Please can people start being normal and not acting so weird and repulsive.
