German judoka Timo Cavelius has become a trailblazer in the world of sport, not just for his competitive achievements but for his visibility as an openly gay athlete. At the 2024 Paris Olympics he made history as the first out gay male judoka to compete at the Games, breaking barriers in a sport and global event where openly q***r male representation has been scarce.

Cavelius came out to his parents and teammates in 2015, and described his decision as a “conscious decision… because the hiding had to stop.” He later wrote that the pressure of elite competition, school exams, and keeping his true self hidden had become too much, and he knew he needed to live authentically.

His teammates accepted him unequivocally, and Cavelius has embraced his role not only as an elite athlete but as a role model showing that LGBTQ+ athletes can compete at the highest levels without hiding who they are.

Sometimes making history isn’t just about medals.

Sometimes it’s about courage, visibility, and inspiring others to live openly. 🌈

💕 People with disabilities should have the right to marry without losing their income, benefits, or health insurance. 💕

💕 In many countries, including the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, people with disabilities are discouraged from getting married or are pushed to divorce in order to get or maintain their income, benefits, and health insurance.

In the United States specifically, it's because benefits such as Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Medicaid are needs-based and focus on current assets and income. When someone marries someone not in those programs, their partner's assets and income are combined with theirs. It is because of the combined income that many married people with disabilities lose their SSI and Medicaid benefits. For people with disabilities who are already married, many have been forced to divorce and live separately in order to keep benefits that they need to survive.

💕 People with disabilities shouldn't be forced to choose between the benefits they need to survive and their partners. 💕

Pentatonix singer Scott Hoying and his husband Mark Hoying have announced the arrival of their baby girl.

Speaking to PEOPLE, Scott revealed that the couple’s daughter had arrived via surrogate on Wednesday, 3 June and that they have named her Birdie James.

"It really was beautiful. It was this overwhelming flashback of all these memories growing up and being like, 'Am I going to find love? Is gay marriage going to be legal? Am I going to be able to have a kid?'” he said.

He continued to say that the process of having a child with his husband has taken four or five years. “It's been a long time coming and just looking at her, I started crying because it was just such a beautiful thing that I feel really, really lucky,” he said.
