He seems like he would have been a great friend! Btw, I am PROUD to know you walked out of that church. Good for you, and good for us, and what a great way to honor Leonard Matlovich. Thank you!Chris Glaserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05053827119412315808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-575514155486283253.post-51939499571487139712013-11-15T15:18:04.053-05:002013-11-15T15:18:04.053-05:00Thanks for telling my readers about this.

As I sat and listened , the courage of Leonard made me proud and I got up and walked out never to return to such a hate filled place. A much belated thank you Leonard.

Once he was buried there, other LGBT service members wanted to be buried near him, creating what cemetary staff call their "gay corner" that includes J Edgar Hoover's boyfriend and reaches to Hoover's site just down the lane.hivposhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08453473781371289989noreply@blogger.com
