I'm in my middle-age, and I can't believe this is true. Although I do believe it.

It is just that there have been out gay kids in my life since I was a teenager. They were persecuted, harassed and bullied. But they were out in the South in the 1980s. I suppose going clubbing really exposed me to more than I thought it did.

I heard this announcement and thought, "So?"

But it is a big deal. It is a watershed moment for gay men.

But I kinda that think it sucks that it required a rich, white, closer-to-retirement-aged CEO to be gay to legitimize the gay community.
