Headline undersells how he did this during the 90’s during the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell era. Was not nearly as socially or politically acceptable then as it is now in the US to do that.

If we want kind decent people to win, we still have to fight for them to win. Vote, get involved! Talk to people you know to do the same

Find how to register to vote for where you are

Find opportunities to volunteer for events around you
