Scott Hunter ✅ @scotthunter
This isn’t something I would have said and truly meant fifteen, ten or even five years ago, but today? Today I’m proud to be a part of @officialmlh. Thank you, Commissioner @marcycuī, for putting in the work. #HappyPride, everyone!
[A picture taken of the official MLH float at the NYC Pride parade. MLH Commissioner Marcy Cuī and her wife Fiona are throwing free merch into the cheering crowd. Scott is waving and smiling, one arm wrapped tightly around his husband Kip Grady’s waist. Kip is kissing Scott’s cheek. Almost but not quite out of frame, Ilya Hollander-Rozanov can be seen stealing a sip of Kip’s drink while Kip’s distracted.]

@officialshanehollander you lucky bitch 🥵🥵🥵 #PrideRozNYC
[A photo of Silas and Ilya in front of the Kingfisher, which is practically overflowing with Pride decorations. Ilya’s topless, shirt stuffed into the back pocket of his low-hanging shorts, and wearing a garish pair of giant, glittery rainbow sunglasses. He has an arm slung casually around Silas’ shoulders and is throwing up a peace sign, holding a cup of beer in his free hand. Silas is staring at Ilya’s chest instead of at the camera.]

The DeLuca Bunch 👩🏽👩🏽👦🏽👦🏽 @delucafamilyaccount
My wife and I have been avid hockey fans since childhood and have definitely passed that passion down to our boys. Running into @officialilyarozanov in our city, during Pride of all days, feels like a dream come true. He was an absolute sweetheart and took a good fifteen minutes to talk to and entertain the boys. Thank you so, so much, Ilya! #PrideRozNYC
[The picture shows Ilya, shirt back on, sitting cross-legged on a patch of grass at the edge of what looks to be a park. People in Pride gear can be seen in the background. Ilya has two boys around kindergarten age crowding his lap. One of the boys is giggling as he reaches for Ilya’s rainbow sunglasses, while the other one is wearing an expression of extreme determination on his face as he shows Ilya the temporary tattoos on his arm. Ilya is listening intently and smiling softly.]
↪ Jayla | Two Mommies Plus Three 🏳️🌈 @jaylatorres
Oh, Elena, you lucky woman! We saw him and Scott Hunter this morning while they were waiting for the parade to start. We weren’t even trying to approach, but Ilya spotted us and called out to us. And Scott threw hats for the girls! (He missed and Ilya laughed at him, haha.) #PrideRozNYC
[A photo of three primary school aged girls squished close together to all fit into the picture. They’re all absolutely beaming at the camera, wearing matching baseball caps with rainbow MLH logos on them. Behind them, on the MLH float, Scott and Ilya are waving. Scott looks mildly exasperated. Ilya’s winking at the person taking the photo.]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! #PrideRozNYC
[In the picture, Lizzie and another woman flank Ilya on either side. They have their arms around his chest, and one leg each kicked back coquettishly as they’re kissing Ilya’s cheeks. Ilya has his arms draped over their shoulders, holding a lesbian flag colored fan in each hand, and is grinning at the camera.]

[Three pictures are attached. 1: Finn looks nervous as he’s holding a trans* pride flag, stretching the fabric so Ilya can sign it. 2: Finn and Ilya are standing close together, smiling at the camera, the flag wrapped around both of them. 3: Finn is wiping at his red eyes even as he’s laughing. Ilya’s got him crushed in a bear hug that actually lifts him a couple inches off the ground.]
↪ Paris Hamilton @parishamilton

[A picture of Ilya being tugged along by the hand through a crowd at what, from how the people around him are dressed, must be a pride event. The person holding his hand isn’t visible, already a row or so ahead in the audience. Ilya’s body’s turned forward, but he’s glancing back over his shoulder, smiling and waving at Nahla, who must have called out to him to get his attention.]

for real tho, is no one else worried about ilya’s behavior today? he’s a husband and a dad, yet he’s out there in nyc acting like that? and where’s shane? this doesn’t sit right with me at all.
#hollanov #ilyarozanov #worriedfan
hohohollanov: honey, sweetheart, sugar pie, you’re new here, aren’t you?
ShanesGirlSinceDayOne: It is actually so concerning?! Poor Shane, having to spend his day watching helplessly as his husband does all this while he can’t do anything about it.
KatieMiller: how about we dont infantilize shane ShanesGirlSinceDayOne he loves his husband and is obviously fine with him having fun
terrortwink: y’all need more queer friends, y’all are acting so pressed about literally nothing it’s actually crazy
CarlaTucker: It’s utterly bewildering to me that people in this comment section are defending Ilya Rozanov right now? While he’s actively betraying his husband and family?!
queerstorian: hey CarlaTucker i bet you think breathing in the direction of someone of the gender(s) you're attracted to constitutes cheating, huh?

#1 Hockey (Grand)Dad | David Hollander Private Account @hockeygrampsdavid
Our sons’ kids being actively neglected and getting foisted off on their inept grandparents by their heartless fathers. Let me know if anyone has any tips, we’ve only been raising children for close to forty years, we’re still fairly new at it and always open to suggestions and improvements.
[Several photos. 1: Yuna Hollander and Marika, Ilya and Shane’s oldest daughter, together on Space Mountain. 2: Dmitri, Ilya and Shane’s adopted teen son/nephew, grinning around a bite of a huge Mickey Mouse pretzel. 3: Inessa, Shane and Ilya’s middle daughter, being held by Maleficent and staring up at her in awe. 4: David Hollander bent over so he can hold his youngest granddaughter Liliyana’s hands as she takes a wobbly step. She’s wearing a fluffy Stitch costume. 5: The Hollander grandparents plus all the kids, photographed from behind, sitting on a picnic blanket and watching the Disney fireworks.]

Oh, and if anyone spots my husband again, tell him to reapply sunscreen. He gets bitchy when he gets burnt. And yes, Russians do get burnt. Don’t listen to him.

if I had a nickel for every time a stranger offered me sunscreen in my husband’s name today, I would have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it is weird that it happened twice????????

[A series of pictures. 1: Fabian Salah performing on stage at the NYC Pride Festival. The photo is taken from somewhere up high. 2: Shane Hollander reclined in a beach chair by a rooftop pool, wearing a pair of unfairly skimpy swim trunks, one brow raised at Kip as he sips from a can of ginger ale. 3: A selfie of Kip and Scott kissing near the same pool Shane’s at. 4: Shane and Ryan Price next to each other on beach chairs by, yet again, the same pool. They’re sitting sideways, their knees knocking together as they share a plate of gyoza. 5: A selfie of Kip, Scott, Shane, Ryan, Eric Bennett and Kyle Swift, with Fabian’s concert still going strong in the background.]

[A picture of two men taken from behind. One of them is clearly recognizable as Ilya since he’s got his head turned slightly to the side and tilted back, looking up at the other man standing behind him. He’s smiling up at his companion, nose wrinkled in amusement. The other man has his arms around Ilya, holding him against his chest. His backwards snapback prevents a good look at his face, but the fact that he’s a good head taller than Ilya makes it obvious that it’s not Ilya’s husband.]
↪ Trev the Chef 🔪 @trevorfuller

Top three reasons why @officialilyarozanov and I aren’t fucking, from least to most important:
#3: I’ve known him since he was barely 18 years old. I’ve seen some shit.
#2: He’s annoying. And an asshole.
#1: I’m scared of his husband.

Caught Ilya and his bestie in the middle of… something lol, no idea honestly.
[A short video of Cliff leaning against a pole in one of the bar tents at the NYC Pride festival. He’s typing on his phone one-handedly. Ilya’s tucked into his side, under his arm, also typing furiously on his own phone. After a moment, Ilya elbows Cliff in the ribs and gasps, craning his neck to pout up at him. Cliff rolls his eyes and puts him in a loose headlock, then smacks a kiss to the top of his head before he continues typing. Both of them seem to have lost their shirts for good at this point.]

[The picture shows the same rooftop party Kip shared photos of earlier. It’s dark by now, the space illuminated softly by a bunch of warmly glowing string lights. Shane is snuggled against his husband’s chest, his arms wrapped tightly around Ilya’s waist. Ilya’s cupping Shane’s face with both hands as he kisses him deeply.]
