just posting here because i find Bob's courage & overall message with what he does, in spite of modern american LGBTQ+ pushback, to be really inspiring.

"I think that it's important for queer people in Nashville, especially young ones, or people who are afraid in general, to see that like it's OK to go forward, it's OK to not be afraid to be seen. I think there's a lot of laws that want us to hide or go back into the closet or just stop existing in public. For some people, the existence of queer people in public is offensive. And quite frankly, I find that offensive."

There are kids who will live to adulthood because they see someone like Bob.
