Good for Adam and Oliver.
My pet peeve is any reposting with comments about "they're so cute". They are adults in a long-term relationship by now. "Cute" sounds like a couple of teenagers or even toddlers.
My second pet peeve is in Adam's audio interviews when he refers to Oliver as his "current partner". Really, Adam, drop the "current" and just identify Oliver as your partner. It shouldn't be that hard, even if you and Oliver haven't agreed on a permanent relationship.

Olivers response to online hate and comments was measured, eloquent and intelligent.
I did Stop at the sentence "don't Dress Like a Girl"...Well then lets phrase it this way: He wears alot of clothes that stereotipical women would wear.
I do Take His Point that mens clothes are boring. I never thought about it that way and think its a fair point. Also interesting that what He said about sizes Not fitting His petite frame.
I keep coming Back to what my grandma told me: when she was a child it was unusual, forbidden almost for women to wear pants. I guess it was Just as New to See a women in pants then AS IT was or IS to See a man in a skirt today.

I was in the 2nd half of 9th grade (Jan 1971) before girls were allowed to wear "pant suits" to public high school. It was another year before we could wear jeans like the boys. Now no one thinks twice about females wearing pants. In this respect, females now have more freedoms than males! IMHO, males will not be as free until they can wear skirts/dresses, if they want, and the general public does not care. |

You must be the same age as me! 1970 I started Grade 9 which was the first year of high school and girls were allowed to wear pants. I don't think I ever wore a skirt again to school! LOL Before that girls wore thick tights which we called leotards in the winter and I remember thinking it was really unfair that boys could wear pants. I kind of doubt if any of the boys were looking at us in our dresses in the warm months and thinking how unfair it was that they had to wear pants. I'm pretty sure the dress code did not allow anyone to wear shorts! But maybe one or two of the boys were thinking that but would never had admitted it! |

Oliver says he's going to watch Taylor Swift and cry his makeup off! LOL. I wonder if Adam will be going to the concert. I've heard it is really good!  . And I loved Adam's look last night. So nice to see him the kind of shoes I like.  Hope he has a good time. I can't stand her lol. There is something so off putting about her to me...and I couldn't even tell you what it is. You might give her another chance. I did! I was turned off early in her career when she won some big awards and did this what seemed like a whole of act of "What me! Little old me!! I don't deserve this! ..." I remember thinking that it all seemed like a whole lot of fake modesty. Then a few years ago I read an interesting article about Taylor and how much work she has put into her career: how she writes all her own songs; how she took singing lessons to strengthen her voice; how engaged she is with her fans; how much crap she has had to put up with being in the music industry and especially being a woman in the music industry; etc. I'm not saying I'm a big fan now but I do respect her and her work ethic. |

I’m not familiar with much of Taylor’s music but she really connects with young women. They love her. |
