In a inspirational and memorable moment at the ACE Universe Convention, actor Chris Hemsworth, best known for his role as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, embraced his nickname as the "Protector of Lesbians." The image capturing this moment features Hemsworth standing behind three women, all smiling, while he proudly holds up the lesbian pride flag above their heads. The flag, with its vibrant seven horizontal stripes ranging from dark orange to various shades of pink and white, adds a colorful and significant touch to the photograph.

Hemsworth, with a wide and enthusiastic smile, elevates the flag high, embodying the spirit of support and inclusivity. The women in the photo, equally joyous, stand in front of him. The woman on the left sports blond hair, glasses, and a light-colored long-sleeve shirt. The individual in the middle has dark hair and is seen wearing a gray jacket over a black top, while the woman on the right also has dark hair, glasses, and a white t-shirt with the "NIN" (Nine Inch Nails) logo.

Text embedded in the image reads, "we told chris that they call him protector of lesbians sometimes and to do this pose, he was so excited and he said 'protector of lesbians, yes!' 😂" At the bottom, the text proudly states, "Thor: Protector of Lesbians," solidifying Hemsworth's endearing title.

The image, taken at what appears to be a fan convention with a backdrop displaying the words "ACE" and "UNIVERSE," has garnered a lot of appreciation and humorous reactions online. Comments range from playful jests like "Call on Hemsworth when your hand starts cramping, he's Thor so you don't have to be," to supportive acknowledgments such as "Because that's what heroes do."

A particularly notable comment highlights the actress Tessa Thompson, who plays Valkyrie in the Thor movies, mentioning her bisexuality, which adds another layer of significance to the image.

This delightful and uplifting moment not only showcases Chris Hemsworth's willingness to embrace and support the LGBTQ+ community but also reinforces the positive impact that celebrities can have when they participate in inclusive and meaningful gestures. Fans of Hemsworth and the Marvel franchise can take pride in knowing that their beloved "Thor" stands as a symbol of protection and allyship.

A white NIN shirt? Heresy

FoxPesdassi

Doubly appropriate, as Tessa Thompson (who plays Valkyrie), center in the photo, is bisexual.

Thor deserved better movies. Ragnarok ruled and the first one was okay as an origin story but otherwise...

Because that's what heroes do.

Did he do anything in particular to get that title? Or was it just something someone came up with randomly?

I'm not disagreeing, i just believe I missed something. Why is he the protector of lesbians?

Scruffy2
