I want to thank Frank for his coming out via baking story. It's so very good that you can feel comfortable enough in yourself and in your company's support to be able to relate this story to the general public.
I am a 71 year old gay (well, bi, but mostly gay) man who has been out since I was 19. So, yes, I've been out for over 50 years. I came out right around the time of the Stonewall Riots, so I was fortunate enough to be somewhat post-Stonewall and did not have to suffer what our gay/lesbian fathers and mothers had to face. But, all of us ancient queens and dykes are stunned and grateful for all of the strides that have been made for equality for the LGBTQ community. And, just now, the Supremes gave us another plank to further firm our equal treatment under the law of our very reluctant to change nation.
And, I want to thank Kind Arthur Flour for being a good friend to our community and for, apparently, being a safe place to work as an out and proud member of the LGBTQ community. Thanks and it's about time the rest of America got up to speed on equality for all. It is an underpinning, not matter how much some members of our nation are reluctant to accept it, even our own orange president, of what America is supposed to be about. We 60s youth who were so loud about wanting change, as are the many young protesters of today, were and are simply wanting America to live up to its highest principles. We should all want America to be a light of freedom and justice to the world.
