I think this counts as uplifting news!

    Because most cruises aren’t gay cruises, which makes the fact this one was unusual and somewhat interesting

    This. Exactly this.

    Hey @[email protected], “gay” isn’t a swear word, and like many of the users here, I’m very confused as to your objection (even after reading your paragraphs of posts).

    • The people on the cruise identify it as a gay cruise.
    • The gay website (Pink News) that reported on it identifies it as a gay cruise
    • The company that chartered the cruise (Vaycaya) is specifically an LGBTQ+ company

    .

    Plus, the reason that “gay” being in the title is part of it being uplifting is right there in the article:

    “Two of the most reviled groups in America right now are the LGBTQ+ community and refugees. The fact that we were the ones lucky enough to help them, it feels really, really good.”

    Yes, the identity does matter.

    So drop it. Just drop it.
