Thank you for being a friend - Pride month thank you

[Drew Dowdell]

Today is June 1st and the beginning of Pride Month.  I feel like I can consider all of you my friends and I wanted to thank you for being allies through all the years we have been coming here.  This website will be 21 years old in August this year. I've been at the helm for most of the time it has been around and have never been not open about who I am.

Car culture has been a historically toxic, "macho" realm with no room for the LGBT crowd. I am proud that I am able to be who I am with you guys while some other sites have LGBT leadership that is unable to be themselves publicly.

Cheers to all of you for being awesome.

So in honor of Pride month, whether you're LGBTQ+ or an Ally, what have you done today to make you feel Proud?

Well Said!!! @Drew Dowdell we live in an amazing Multi-Cultural world and humanity will continue to improve as we embrace all the amazing contributions everyone in the world including the LQBTQ+ community has to offer. Being oneself is what allows us all to get along and agree to disagree while discussing everything and especially our love of the auto industry here.

Thank you Drew for such an amazing place we have here.

Here's a year and a bit later reply to your Pride 2022 post.

2023 was the first year I flew a Pride flag from the house. It went up on June 1, 2023, and is still up.

Few weeks ago, I discovered that the back window of the GMC Motor Home is practically the perfect size for a 5' x 3' flag.
