The road ahead is bright. Things are changing. Society is shifting and people young and old are embracing diversity, equity and inclusion. With that said, I want to say Happy Pride to all of you, and congratulations class of 2024.”

I don’t think I should judge him by his views, especially his religious views, of how to go about life. That’s just not who I am.”
