Vou ser sincero com vocês: até algumas horas atrás, eu achava que Patrick Stewart fizesse parte da comunidade LGBTQ+. Via frequentemente fotos dele trocando selinhos com Ian McKellen e até imaginava que pudesse existir algo além de uma grande amizade entre os dois.
Para minha surpresa, ao pesquisar mais sobre sua vida, descobri que não. Patrick Stewart era heterossexual e foi casado três vezes, sempre com mulheres.
E os selinhos? Eram apenas uma demonstração pública de afeto e carinho por Ian, que é assumidamente gay e um dos seus melhores amigos. Mas o mais importante nunca foi o gesto em si. O verdadeiro significado estava no fato de Patrick usar sua imagem, como um dos atores mais respeitados de Hollywood, para apoiar a comunidade LGBTQ+ de forma aberta e natural.
Patrick Stewart não tinha uma masculinidade frágil e nunca precisou provar sua heterossexualidade para ninguém. Não se preocupava com o que pensavam ou diziam a seu respeito. O que realmente importava para ele era ajudar a construir um mundo mais tolerante e acolhedor.
Um mundo em que seu grande amigo Ian McKellen, e toda a comunidade LGBTQ+, pudessem viver com dignidade e paz.
Sir Patrick Stewart foi, sem dúvida, um homem à frente do seu tempo.

Sir Ian McKellen has made a statement on the tragic passing of Sir Patrick Stewart.
“He wore his heart on his sleeve, which made him a man to rely on, to admire and in my case, love.”

while initially cautious of each other, they became very close after apologizing. they can match each other's mood pretty well. lucas makes an effort to introduce her to things he likes so she can see if she's interested in them too and offers to try new things with her
i think their school colors always reminded them of each other, but especially during freshman year when they are at odds. lucas and dustin have always bickered but they struggle with opening up to each other. i think they'd show up unannounced at the other's place daily, if able
will has always been the most soft-spoken one in the party but that never stopped him from having strong opinions and input. he was always lucas' favorite to collaborate with in mike's convoluted campaigns. will's passion for art also inspired him to pursue his own passions
mike was lucas' first friend in hawkins, given they're neighbors. mike introduced him into a lot of his nerdy interests that he grew to love and always matched his enthusiasm. they butt heads at times but that's always been how they've shown each other they care
