Such a great story. A wonderful man who has achieved so much. Thrilled he has a husband. I was married to my accepting wife for 51 years. She had MS 26 years and I was her carer for almost all that time before she passed in 2022. I went through 13 years of reparative therapy including electronic shock therapy. I was a Baptist Pastor but since been told I am not welcome to even attend church because I am gay. I never was. But my adult kids are accepting. Both married with 2 sons each. That's life. But I really appreciated your story. Well done.
You are such a BEAUTIFUL PERSON! THANK YOU from a 61 year old Gay man who wasted so much of his life worrying about what other people would think about me, how they might treat me, or literally what they might do to me especially after spending much of my childhood school years being bullied, harassed, and ostracized. The biggest challenge for me, even today is coming to terms with who I really am and trying to find the courage to love myself. When I see videos like yours, it gives me such hope and inspiration for the next generation. Through your tours, you are an Ambassador Of The L.G.B.T.Q. community sharing the history, stories, and legacy of our cause. I can’t think of a better job to have or a better person to be in this position! At the end of the day, we are all just human beings trying to get through this CrAzY thing called life with the hope that our existence has meaning, purpose, and inspiration to others. CONGRATULATIONS as you have truly have accomplished this goal!!! BRAVO YOUNG MAN, BRAVO!!!❤️❤️🙏🙏👍👍😊😊
Thank you so much for sharing a part of your story here, and for such kind words! I'm truly honored and so grateful to be doing this work! 🌈
It is this man that I would chose to be an ambassador for the gay community. It is through him that I would want the rest of the world to see that there does exist within the gay community integrity, character and values. I am many times saddened and angered by so much of the shallowness and superficiality that so many understandably express dismay about, but for this man I have so much respect. Indeed, a true breath of fresh air..!
Thank you so much for these incredibly kind words. I'm touched! 💜
What a terrific young man! And what an absorbing portrait of a coming out journey. Loved this!
Too beautiful... sublime witness. Thank you for sharing.
Love this. Thank you for being who you are and sharing it. ❤
I love this story and will definitely take the tour next time we are in the city!! Thank you for sharing!!
Thank you! I look forward to seeing you on a tour! 🤗
Beautiful story! Thank you for sharing it! ❤
Thank you for sharing your story. God bless you and your family. My partner and I will celebrate 🎉 in November 2024 38 years together. Fun we never married. We’re both Catholic Puerto Ricans. I’m 65 he’s 64. I love ❤️ Pope Frances he said on the plane ✈️ and was ask about L GBTQ he’s answered was who am I to criticize who they are. You look great 👍. Amen 🙏.🇵🇷🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸🇵🇷🇺🇸.
Great reminders! Thanks!🏳️🌈
what a great speech about God Univers instead of from an institution... 🦋
This is beautiful!! I’d love to be a part of this tour on my next visit to New York. I relate to so much of what he says and I think a lot of it is because I’ve still trying to find my belonging in society. For now, it’s more survival more than ever especially more during these troubled times.
Me too. Michael is an amazing young man and so is his partner. I will definitely take the tour as well.
I can relate! Would love to chat more on tour one day! 😃
Really enjoyed that. Thank you. ❤
I’m gonna visit NY and do the tour this summer. What an amazing story! I really dig this channel. Thank you guys for producing these videos! ❤
Thank you! Can't wait to see you this summer!
Beautiful
Lovely ❤
Cute guy 🎉
🙈
😘🙏🏼✊🏼
What a beautiful story. Looks like his parents were supportive as well. Thank you for sharing!
Dude your only 33 years old. You are married and living happily openly gay and have so many years ahead. You’re speaking as if you’re in your 50s. Be grateful, you were able to love freely and open in your 20s, there’s a lot of people who are in their 60s and 70s and can’t say that. I read stories of people in their 50s and 60s now coming out and feel it’s too late.
