Being gay would explain his empathy for slaves. The LGBTQ+ Community and the Black Community have a close kinship (though, of course, the LGBTQ+ Community hasn't experienced the same level of persecution en masse).

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

You shift the narrative of masculinity presented by so many and make it balanced and real.

Thank you — I’m really glad it landed that way. I wanted to write toward something more human and less reactive, especially around masculinity and leadership.
