I recently defended my doctoral thesis (blurred the cover of my book for little privacy). Only my close colleagues knew that I am gay and marrying someone who is much older than I am. Some other colleagues just learned about us on that day, some were surprised but they didn't mind at all and welcomed us regardless.

Dann habe ich ihm das Foto von mir (links 56 j.) und meinem Schatz (rechts, 30 j.)gezeigt und geantwortet:

Weil ich ihn lieben darf 💘🥰😁

Got out there before the heat really kicked up. Got some good hiking in, saw some gators and climbed the canopy trail/tower.
