There's no two ways about it, members of the LGBTIQ+ community are great at proposals.
So far this year, we've see , , and even one proposal .
However, for Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Ronan Farrow, 31, getting down on one knee was always going to be too... on the nose.
So instead of opting for a literal proposal, he went for a somewhat literary one.
In his new book Catch and Kill, which delves into the Farrow's investigations into alleged abusers including Harvey Weinstein and Matt Lauer, the writer reveals that he proposed to his partner, journalist and Pod Save America podcast host Jon Lovett, during the revisions of Catch and Kill's manuscript.
Given that Lovett had contributed reporting for the book, he was also part of the editing and revision process. So Farrow scribbled a very special note into the book's margin: “Marriage? On the moon or even here on Earth?”
that Farrow's reference to the moon was part of a running joke between the couple about getting married in space.
“He read the draft,” Farrow writes in Catch and Kill, “and found the proposal here and said, ‘Sure.’”
In a press release from the Point Foundation, Farrow said at the time: “Being a part of the LGBT community – which recognised that reporting I was doing early on and elevated it, and has been such a stalwart source of support through the sexual assault reporting I did involving survivors who felt equally invisible – that has been an incredible source of strength for me."
He added: "LGBT people are some of the bravest and most potent change agents and leaders I have encountered, and the most forceful defenders of the vulnerable and voiceless, because they know what it’s like to be there.”
