There were many amazing things about the 21st centuries. Lucky charms for example. Or Netflix. Or a society in which racism and homophobia and sexism were largely considered bad views to hold and were fought against.

These are just a few examples of things that the 21st century had to offer. And Steve felt blessed to have the chance to experience these things.

Unfortunately, the 21st century wasn't a perfect utopia. Like every society, it had its fair share of idiots. And that's why Steve hated the TV news interviews that Tony forced him to do. See, online news interviews were fun. They asked Steve funny questions and played games testing his modern knowledge. But TV news? They interrogated him in subjects they didn't even teach back in the 30s and tried to undermine him in anyway possible.

Their favorite way to do so was to go after his sexuality. See, Steve came out of the ice in 2014, just in time to see gay marriage be made legal in the US. Two years later, came out of the closet after he was reunited with his 1940s love of his life, James Buchanan Barnes, though a rather strange set of circumstances. It took them a while, but eventually they grew accustomed to a new society where they could not only hold hands in public, but also decide to get married.

And so they did, in a small ceremony in an apple orchard in New York, they said their vows and married each other.

However, at that point they still hadn't officially come out to the world. And thus, with an entirely unnecessarily dramatic press conference put on by none other than Tony Stark himself, Steve and Bucky announced their love to the media on June first, the perfect way to kick off Pride, 4 months after their wedding.

While the overall reception was overwhelming positive, with hashtags like #lovewins, #ww2wasgay and #stucky trending for weeks, there were, of course, the dickheads who would do anything to feed of #stuckys fame. The Tomi Lauren's of the world made hour long segments yelling homophobic insults while the Alex Jones's were trying to make the case that Steve wasn't actually gay and that the marriage was a liberal propaganda piece.

To be fair, Steve wasn't gay. And he never said he was. He was bisexual, as he in that first press conference. Yet there were still interviews like the one Steve was sitting through right now.

"So," the middle aged woman began, "you've been asked the question whether you are bisexual or not," she paused for a response.

Steve sighed. "Yes. Too many times." He knew he was being sassy but he was far to done with this shit to care.

"Yes. And you've never quite answered it." She paused again, waiting for an answer to a question that she didn't ask.

"Oh I have. I said I was bisexual. That's enough." He said sternly, almost asking her to contradict him.

"Hm, does that mean that you really are? Or does that mean that you are keeping something?" How fucking condescending could this lady be?

"I've answered the question." He replied, acting naively unaware by using a questioning tone in his response.

"Well I just mean to say that you are claiming to be married to a man, so how can you maintain that you are attracted to women?"

Her smile was so incredibly fake that a Barbie would have looked more real.

Steve straighten his shoulders into military stance, an intimidation tactic he had taught himself through these past couple of years of self righteousness interviewers. "I am not claiming, anything. I married the man I love, and I do not intend on leaving him for a woman to prove myself to anyone. God forbid a bisexual person fall in love and decide to faithfully stay with one person for the rest of their live."

The interviewer filled through her papers looking for a new topic while trying to retain her composure. "Well, I-"

"It was," Steve cut her off but paused, picking his next words carefully, "lovely, meeting you. I think I must be off now. Thank you." Steve stood and walked out of the studio only stoping to thank the hair dresser and makeup artists that had been so kind to him that morning. He texted Bucky that he'd be home early.

Steve laughed at his text and flicked off his phone, sliding it into his jacket pocket. He grabbed his keys out of his pocket and hopped on his bike, revving the engine unnecessarily because he liked the sound but mostly because it made him feel cool. Got that interview was some grade A bullshit. When he arrived at Vons, he pulled out his phone to see if Bucky responded.
