wait...have we all heard of Barry Manilow?

regardless...the man was closeted for decades. he was in a relationship w/his now-husband for longer than most of us have been alive. and he felt like he couldn't come out b/c he didn't want to hurt his fans or damage his career. how sad for him and for us that we made him feel that way. his fear was legitimate. i'm glad he was finally brave enough to come out on his own terms. i congratulate him and his husband (they married in 2014). good stuff!

we still easin up behind ya. breathin down ya neck. ain't no stoppin us now. we GAININ ON YA.
