There’s no basis for the Fort Lauderdale mayor’s claim that a deadly Pride truck crash was a “terrorist attack against the LGBTQ community.” The driver, a 77-year-old unable to walk in the parade, and the victims were all members of a gay men’s chorus. https://t.co/bUxGPXSftc

The NFL family is proud of you, Carl. ❤️ pic.twitter.com/HXbcBuLg2X
One of my biggest regrets was never becoming a dad. In my generation, coming of age in the 50s and 60s, it just wasn't something very available to gay men, even those in couples. But I'm happy I could still be "Uncle George" to so many.
