Openly gay All Elite Wresting performer Anthony Bowens and his boyfriend, Michael Pavano, recently found themselves in the vicinity of homophobic protesters.

The protesters were holding signs with slogans such as "Trump, Make America Great Again: Ban Homo Marriage” and “Homos go to hell.”

After seeing the protesters, Bowens and Pavano decided to fight back against their message in the most wholesome way they could—with love.

Bowens and Pavano took a photo of themselves sharing a sweet kiss in front of the protesters. Bowens then shared this photo on his Instagram.

See the post here:

The photo has since gone viral, garnering over 27,000 likes and hundreds of comments.

Instagram users are loving Bowens and Pavano's defiant kiss as a way to counterprotest the homophobic picketers.

Bowens' sexual orientation has been a topic of conversation for him in the past, as he originally came out as bisexual in 2017 before coming out as gay in 2019.

Bowens said:

“I’ve loved pro wrestling ever since I was 5 years old and I didn’t want my experience ruined because of other wrestlers thinking I got into it for the wrong (sexual) reasons."
“The ring is my sanctuary, where nothing else matters. I couldn’t bear to think that if I came out, I’d spend most of my time worrying if the person I was wrestling was uncomfortable and didn’t want to work with me.”

After coming out as gay in 2019, Bowens told Sports Illustrated:

"I'm representing the LGBT+ community and athletes that are LGBT+, but even more than that, too. I’m representing the small-town kid who was told he’d never make it, and I’m here for the shy kid that is ready to burst out of his shell and be that social butterfly."
“To know that I’m having a positive impact on people is a blessing, and makes me feel that I made the right decision to come out.”

Labor Department Hit With Blunt Factcheck After Posting 'Godfather'-Style Meme To Boast About Trump

Similar to the AI-generated NFT trading cards then former Republican President Donald Trump produced of himself in 2022 for his MAGA minions to buy, the current Trump administration keeps depicting the POTUS as characters from movies or pop culture.

The latest Trump fantasy figure was shared by the Department of Labor (DOL) under Acting Secretary Keith Sonderling. Trump's original Labor Secretary, Lori Chavez-DeRemer, resigned in April during an internal investigation for misconduct and abuse of power.

Trump's State Department Just Mislabeled Every Country On A Map Of Africa At A Global Conference—And It's So Awkward

The State Department issued an apology after mislabeling every country on a map of Africa presented at a pre-conference in Rio de Janeiro ahead of the AIDS 2026 conference.

The error is all the more embarrassing because high-level African officials were in the audience. Emily Bass, an expert consultant for Physicians for Human Rights, who writes about the Trump administration's global health agenda on her Substack, said the map could not have been any more incorrect.

GOP Senator Epically Trolls Trump After Being Asked If Not Having To Run For Reelection Has Made Him 'More Independent' From The President

Republican Senator John Cornyn, who was primaried out by a Texas candidate who was backed by President Donald Trump, gave a revealing answer when asked whether his unwillingness to support confirming Todd Blanche as Attorney General is an example of him being more "independent" from the president.

Cornyn and his outgoing GOP colleague, North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis, are urging the Justice Department to revise its settlement with Trump to explicitly eliminate a proposed $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" compensation fund.

Meghan McCain Speaks Out After Video Of Her Sparks Cruel Comments From Body-Shaming Trolls

When it comes to sensitive subjects, some people make derogatory comments instead of having a hard conversation, either to pivot the focus or to try to feel superior.

In a podcast episode from just over a week ago, "Mamdani's Talent Knows No Limitations," Meghan McCain openly praised New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani and said plainly that Republicans "would be in trouble" and "should be scared" if the possibility were to ever arise for him to be able to run for President.
