Attachment isn’t exclusive to romance 💕

The third category of love, attachment, is associated
with feelings of comfort and nurturing as opposed to
infatuation and desire. The hormones oxytocin and
vasopressin are the fuel for these factors in long-term
relationships. And while lust and attraction are pretty
much exclusive to romantic love, attachment is also felt
through friendships, parent-infant bonding and even
how owners feel toward their pets.

Engagement rings 💍 are often worn on the
fourth finger of the left hand because the ancient
Greeks maintained that that finger contains the vena
amoris, or the “vein of love,” that runs straight to the
heart. The first recorded wedding rings appear in
ancient Egypt, with the circle representing eternity as
well as powerful sun and moon deities.

International Le***an Day 👩‍❤️‍👩🏳️‍🌈
International Le***an Day, held on October 8, is a day for le****ns the world over to come together to celebrate le***an history, diversity and culture.
Recognised annually, the day gives an opportunity for women, families and friends to connect, celebrate and also raise awareness about the importance of community. Although the exact origin of the day remains uncertain, it almost certainly began in Australia/New Zealand. Some say the day began in 1980 when a Le***an Day March was held in New Zealand. The first Australian event was held at the Collingwood Town Hall in Melbourne on October 13, 1990.
It featured musicians, market stalls and readings during the afternoon. Following that, the women held a dance with live bands later in the evening. Melbourne le****ns then celebrated the day on or around October 8 for the next several years. In recent years le****ns encourage the community to either get together or show support by donating to charities supporting le***an women. International Le***an Day is all-inclusive. It’s a day to be shared by le****ns and also allies of le***an rights.

Gender symbols 🏳️‍🌈
The female and male gender symbols are derived from the astronomical symbols for the planets Venus and Mars respectively. In modern science, the singular symbol for Venus is used to represent the female s*x, and singular symbol for Mars is used to represent the male s*x.
Two interlocking female symbols (⚢) represent a le***an or the le***an community, and two interlocking male symbols (⚣) a gay male or the gay male community. These symbols first appeared in the 1970s.
The symbols for the female (♀) and male (♂), combined around a circle (⚧) is used to represent transgender people.

Record-High 70% in U.S. Support Same-Sex Marriage 🏳️‍🌈💍
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- U.S. support for legal same-s*x marriage continues to trend upward, now at 70% -- a new high in Gallup's trend since 1996. This latest figure marks an increase of 10 percentage points since 2015, when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that all states must recognize same-s*x marriages.
These data are from Gallup's annual Values and Beliefs poll, conducted May 3-18.
Today's 70% support for same-s*x marriage marks a new milestone in a trend that has pointed upward for a quarter of a century. A small minority of Americans (27%) supported legal recognition of gay and le***an marriages in 1996, when Gallup first asked the question. But support rose steadily over time, eventually reaching the majority level for the first time in 2011.

LGBTQ Symbol 🏳️‍🌈
Lambda is the Greek letter associated with some of the more aggressive factions of the LGBT community. Lambda can signify several things, including liberation, unity, synergy, or the iconic scales of justice. Scholars note that the symbol also appeared on the shields of Theben warriors. The Band of Thebes is believed to have consisted of a group of fierce and dedicated male lover/warriors.

Love makes you dumb
Falling in love can make people do questionable and embarrassing things. In fact, research shows that s*xual arousal turns off the regions in the brain that control critical thinking, self-awareness and rational behavior. It shuts off the prefrontal cortex of the brain, which is to blame for mistakes, bad decisions and regrettable moments in a new relationship.

Gilbert Pride Flag , the flag that started it all… 🏳️‍🌈
It was created in 1977 by Gilbert Baker, an artist, activist, and openly gay military veteran. Tasked by Harvey Milk, a historic figure in the fight for LGBTQ rights, to create a flag for the q***r community, Baker created a rainbow flag with eight different colors.
Inspired by the classic song "Over the Rainbow" from the 1939 film The Wizard from Oz, Baker created a rainbow flag to represent LGBTQ folks. Each color in the flag also had a specific meaning.
💗 Hot Pink symbolizes s*x
❤️ Red equals life
🧡 Orange symbolizes healing
💛Yellow stands for sunlight
💚 Green represents nature
💙 Turquoise equals magic & art
🖤 Indigo stands for serenity
💜 Violet represents the spirit of LGBTQ people

3 Reasons why Paris is the City of Love ❤️
1. Paris is the City of Lights
An evening stroll along the River Seine will show you why the lit-up buildings and monuments make this place the City of Light.
Like jewels in the French night, the Louvre and the Musée d’Orsay shine when the night covers the city. The same happens to the glorious Eiffel Tower which sparkles over 20,000 light bulbs every evening.
2. Many Lovers Propose in Paris
Paris is the City of Love because, among others, people propose very often there. (Who came first: the chicken or egg?)
Anyway, the Eiffel Tower is the world’s 2nd most popular place where lovers propose. Can’t blame them. Have you seen it sparkling in the evening? It’s magical!
Needless to say that while most tourists stay 4 days in Paris, some lucky newly-weds choose the Parisian atmosphere for their honeymoon destination.
4. Artists Always Paint Paris as the Most Romantic City
As mentioned above, Paris was and still is a source of inspiration for many national and international artists, and because of that, all this inspiration and romanticism is somehow reflected or represented in their artworks.
The more people see and read about the City of Love, the more they see it that way, and hopefully, start to feel it themselves too. After all, the world could use some love, don’t you think?
Note that we said “read” because in literature are dozens of books set in Paris that are also ridiculously romantic.
In essence, when a group of people starts portraiting a place as anything – romantic, dangerous, hipster, that feeling slowly spread across society until it’s a trademark of that place.
And there you have one of the biggest reasons why Paris is the City of Love.

▪️ 2014 - Oregon, Pennsylvania, Kansas, and South Carolina legalize same-s*x marriage. The Presbyterian church votes to allow same-s*x ceremonies. The U.S. Supreme Court decides a case that allows for same-s*x marriage in 5 states (VA, OK, UT, WI, and IN) but declines to make a blanket statement for all states.
▪️ 2015 - The U.S. Supreme Court makes same-s*x marriages legal in all 50 states in Obergefell v. Hodges.
