A really interesting article about Frank's coming out of the closet and his efforts toward gay equality in the U.S.
These made me laugh out loud.
One thing I noticed immediately from this article is that people seemed to seriously respect this guy, regardless of his sexuality. I have a strong suspicion that his work, personality, interactions with people, and everything else had a major effect on how people responded to him initially coming out. He also seems like a very humble person who doesn't ever except anything from anyone, which certainly helps in situations like this.
This is such a minor detail, but if you are't familiar with the epicness of the Reverend Sun Myung Moon, prepare yourself for another couple long reads. Amazing stuff:
Sun Myung Moon's lost Ecotopia
Unification Church Profile: The Fall of the House of Moon
I also love reading about (the second link I posted above is another good example of this) the younger versions of all these political figures that we know so well today. In some cases, it's a bit funny and humanizing. In others, like Newt Gingrich's case, a bit depressing.
Excellent, excellent read. Thank you for sharing.
