Spare other queer kids from the rejection that he faced. Tom met jerry in 1972, which hao whomhood build a life together. The two would marry in october 2013 in a public block partystyle wedding. Tom was diagnosed with h. I. V. In 1983, a death sentence at the time as little was known about the virus that was killing gay men by the thousands. Tom far outlived his diagnosis and over the decades he and jerry donated time, money and loving support to countless causes and organizations. They founded the Diversity Foundation which for years has been the quiet caretaker of the rainbow flag. And tom gave countless houring to secure lighting for this most iconic installation of gilberts flag. Tom and jerry maintained and lovingly cared for the hundreds of the rain bow flags that line the street.

Well because we couldnt get together and we couldnt travel so i am moved all my books to my home office and hold up and thats how i was able to. Finish it took a lot of you know structured time away from the office to get it done and just a lot of discipline, i guess and just kind of keeping atticus. Its like i deal in collaborating but im writing and you know 800 word bursts here and there but a book is a is a different creature. Well, i cant do what you do.
