We are what we are, Steve.
Me - decided that before I can't, I'd run further than I have in 30 years.
It hurt, a bit, but not that bad. Did not help that I got dumped on by rain 3 times during the run but turns out, I don't melt.
Small towns are not usually the best places for gay men to live. They don't offer a lot in terms of entertainment. People are usually not that inviting to gay men and women. I've spent a significant portion of my life in small towns, and generally don't feel that welcomed.
Not my current small town!
There are at least 100 rainbow flags flying for gay pride month! Hell, they even repainted a crosswalk with rainbow stripes.
It just feels very welcoming when I'm coming home from work, grocery shopping or whatever. I love Fairfax and it's people! I am home!
Really great to hear Steve.
It was last weekend, but Filoli (“Fight. Love. Live.”) in another small town, Woodside, showed the Bay Area’s levels of acceptance at their Pride fest with their first winning CIS female drag queen doing storybook hour. #doublejump

Example:
An interesting collection of mostly live tunes. I can here now that this was an inspiration for Madeline Kahn in Blazing Saddles. I still see her as an actress, but she was also a performer.
