He was very good in person with his trans fans too. Growing up going to SF cons, I met many trans people before I even knew what trans meant. I gave my parents very little they needed to accept in their child, so they had lots left over for everyone else. 😉 www.thepinknews.com/2021/08/06/t...

Exciting news: this year's Weird Pride Day (4th March) is 47 days before the first Sunday after the first full moon following the Spring equinox - and you all know what that means, right?
Yes, folks... this year, #WeirdPride Day is *also* PANCAKE DAY!
Next Weird Pride Pancake Day isn't until 2087.

My brother would have been 45yo today. But he died from leukemia when he was 9, two years before I got to meet him.
For kids like my brother, a blood/marrow transplant can mean life or death. Please consider joining the national registry (US). You could save a life.
