  • I needed to hear this!

    These Old Gays are such a light to me. As a long time ally, there was a time when I didn’t know any “old” gays… many simply weren’t out or didn’t make it to Old. I am so thrilled to hear this joyful and hilarious show. Warms my heart and gives us hope! Love is love, and this gang is all love. ❤️
