This gay couple recreated their Pride kiss 24 years later, and the touching results have gone viral

Don't know if thus has been featured, but it moved me. I suppose it can be seen as either good or bad news. I focus on the good parts, her courage and the support of her family and friends. That is one gutsy 12 yo!

I saw this story too. This one is my favourite:

 

When the stunt horses in LOTR were being auctioned off, Viggo bought the white Horse “Arwen” rode for the stunt rider who filmed the chases with the Nazgul because she had fallen in love with the horse but couldn’t afford to buy him.

 

Edit: Viggo being Viggo Mortensen one of the LOTR stars.
