Check it out: 2013 Out 100 List
Love this list. There were a few people on here that I didn’t even know were gay. My personal favorites on the list are Mr.Wentworth Miller and Bryan Petroff & Doug Quint, the owners of the Big Gay Ice Cream Shop.
Wentworth Miller recently came out and he has quite the story. He struggled a lot with coming out. Wentworth! We love you and are here for you. Honey child, you just give us a call. Did you know that Wentworth attempted suicide before coming out? That is just heartbreaking. During his interview with the Out 100 he said, “I remember carrying around deep feelings of shame after I tried to kill myself, feeling like I’d stumbled or failed life’s exam,”. He went on to say, “That I was now ‘damaged goods.’ What I would say to that younger self — what I’d say to anyone who’s walked a similar road — is to focus less on the fact that you nearly ended your life and more on the fact that you survived, that you lived to tell the tale. And then tell it.”. GOOD FOR YOU! What a moving story. Read more here.
Bryan Petroff & Doug Quint founded my favorite ice cream shop in NYC. If you are in the city you should check them out. Some of the best ice cream around and it’s always GREAT to support GLBT businesses. Check out Big Gay Ice Cream
