I'm Anthony and these are my little rambling notes. They say I must be a superhero because I roam the night, but really I'm just a gay man getting his groove on! So these are the things that I have found interesting & amusing during the course of my travels throughout the night. Enjoy!

I have never been able to think of the day as one of mourning; I have never quite been able to feel that half-masted flags were appropriate on Decoration Day. I have rather felt that the flag should be at the peak, because those whose dying we commemorate rejoiced in seeing it where their valor placed it. We honor them in a joyous, thankful, triumphant commemoration of what they did. ~Benjamin Harrison
LGBTQ* Memorial Day/Vintage Soldiers Appreciation Post
Memorial Day is a federal holiday celebrated on the last Monday in May. It originated after the American Civil War to commemorate the fallen Union soldiers of the war. The South had a remembrance day (also in May) but the day was not celebrated jointly until the beginning of the 20th century. Formally known as Decoration Day, Memorial Day has become a day to remember all those who have served and fallen during a time of war.

I felt that this chart excluded a lot of people (non-binary people, people who identify as queer, etc.) and denied self-identification, so I made some changes.

Ellen DeGeneres reflects on coming-out episode, 15 years later.
We’ve been with you all the way on this journey and it’s so special seeing you go through all the milestones knowing what you’ve been through.. For me, it’s an absolute honor to stand behind you and say that I’m your fan! And I’m so proud of that!
