Today is the 69th birthday of the activist Gilbert Baker. I first learned of his exceptional contributions to the world through Randy Shilts’ book and was happy to see him get more exposure through Dustin Lance Black’s miniseries. You have done the world a great service if Google makes a doodle to celebrate your birthday. The world is a better place because he is in it and still feels the loss that he has left.
