Happy #GayUnclesDay to my #UncleGeorge! He's a huge part of our lives & at 91 he's still got it going on! Born in 1927 he lived through incredible intolerance-- raids, arrests, secrecy, violence, the AIDS crisis, etc. but still carved out a life for himself that was full of happiness & love. He's got SO MANY stories and they are pretty incredible. I often I wonder if younger LGBTQ+ folks really realize what it was growing up gay during this time. He'll be a guest soon on @AmericanSexPodcast sharing some of his experiences and I can’t wait for you to hear! Also, apparently Gay Uncles day was supposed to the the 2nd Sunday in August which was a few days ago-- 8/11/19. But even @georgehtakei is celebrating today so I'm going with that! I was doing a little reading up and it looks like this holiday way thought up in 2016 so it’s relatively new. People are still confused I suppose. Next year, second Sunday it is!

Also, is there a gender neutral term for aunt/uncle, niece/nephew? I think we’ve still got some work to do … #GunclesDay #NationalGunclesDay #UncleGeorge #lgbtq🌈 https://www.instagram.com/p/B1JvhXphVUa/?igshid=1w92cqjoigamw
