Why #gay #athlete #kissing his #boyfriend after #qualifying for #Olympics was ‘a #powerful #thing’.

#Sport #climber #CampbellHarrison says the #reaction to his #celebratory #kiss shows 'a lot of people aren’t used to seeing gay affection being displayed as #normal and an everyday occurance.'

Probably time for another #introduction , since I've hopped instances.

By day I'm a #devops / #sre working on the cloud computing infrastructures for a genomics research lab.

At other times of day, I'm a #climber and bicycle-riding person, serial complainer about car-dependency and suburban sprawl, and open source software enthusiast. #linux and #openbsd are where most of my OSS focus goes.
