He is the founder of RainbowGray.com, a website for those LGBT folks 50+ years in age. It's a great site and has a lot of awe- some information. For whatever reason, older LGBT folks seem to have been margin- alized in our society, and their contributions, creativity and ex- periences haven't very much ap- preciated within the gay world as well as the so-called straight world. Stephen thus created a site that would celebrate and foster the wisdom, creativity, diversity and experiences of older gay peo- ple who were 50 or older. Diversity Rules Magazine is hon- ored to help Stephen with his message and hopes that it can help demargainalize the 50 plus LGBT generation. I am sure you will love his interview and the in- sights he offers. June is pride month. It is hard to believe that another year has passed and we are on the thresh- old of another year of pride cel- ebrations. is year we have much to cel- ebrate. Since last year's momen- tous Supreme Court decision striking down DOMA many state same sex marriage bans have been deemed unconstitutional. We are now on a fast track to having mar- riage equality in all 50 states. It is simply just a matter of time now. I encourage you all to stay active in the battle. Take a stand and don't let discrimination win. Diversity Rules Magazine PO Box 72 Oneonta, NY 13820 James R.
