Here are a few brave Gay celebrities who have openly expressed their sexual preferences. Why did it take so long?

There are many, many more celebrities who are openly +Gay.  But, look at the years that some high profile people finally revealed themselves to the world. Not long ago at all.

 It's still a stigma to be Gay.            
 Too bad.

This Home Depot Is Really Customer Friendly

Here's some good information about a Home Depot store located at 2655 N. Halsted in Chicago.This is not a paid plug but comes from the bottom of my heart.

 I went to this store on December 2, 2013 just as they had closed. I walked up 3 flights of stairs because the elevators were off. I was determined to buy a kitchen fire extinguisher. The lights were being shut off as I yelled to a man who looked like a manager.

 I told him I had to buy the extinguisher and and asked if he would  help me? He smiled, walked me over to the fire extinguishers, put the one I was looking for in my hand, and had a cashier open her register and check me out. He then got the elevator working so I would not have to walk back down the steps. Now, mind you, I'm am not sickly or handicapped. I don't look like a guy who needs any special treatment. He was just a good employee and a good human being..

I just called the store and spoke to Erin who gave me the name of Joe who  was the man who she thought helped me. Erin was very nice even though she had to do some extra work to help me figure out who  would have been the manager that night. She then said that she was also a manager.

I never felt one way or another about The Home Depot. Now, I think they are special.at least at that store.
