The meme "That Time Badass Queen Elizabeth II Gave Saudi Arabia's King a Lesson in Power" got better.

I have seen many wondering if this story is true, so here are two external links about the incident that took place in 1998:

This is why canon fodder.

there is no Steve Rogers who isn't aware of gay people, gay communities, and gay culture. He lived among fabulous drag balls, cruising sailors, and fairies out in drag on the street every night, also among bars that were continually getting raided for sodomy, for having unlicensed drag balls

(Note: The term DUMBO was coined in 1978.)

THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated.
- Thomas Paine, The American Crisis, 23rd December 1776

A winter soldier is someone who will warm their hands over a meager fire and weather the cold. Someone who refuses to abandon their country and its potential, no matter what the personal cost.

This describes a situation in which dating was more about one’s reputation than any sort of romance. It was very important not only to be seen with many dates, but with the proper people.
